Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: August 12th, 2022 (Patreon)

Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Like Us series, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish! The question this week is...

Is there a song that reminds you of Lily & Lo or Luna & Donnelly? Share your music recs! 

WEEKLY RECAP

Happy Friday, magical & super heroic beauties!! We've been in our little writing caves and we hoped to be done with one bonus scene today but they're taking a bit longer than predicted 😅 But alas, we think it'll be worth the wait! So not much has been going down this week on Patreon since we're busy working on the content. We'll also be recording the podcasts soon! Many new things are on the horizon. We hope you've all been well and are staying hydrated out there! Take a look at the More News section for a signed paperback giveaway going on at Instagram and an announcement for a popular author event we'll be attending next year 💖 All happy things! 

We also want to say a big, overwhelming thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the years. Addicted to You is about to release (and be in bookstores) through Berkley Romance on Tuesday -- and this book is nearly a decade old. 

A whole decade. 

To know that it's made it this far -- that so many people have taken chances on Lily & Lo and made this opportunity happen to be in stores -- it means more than anything we can express. Your readership and love of these books are why they're soaring so many years later. 

Thankyouthankyouthankyou, as Lily would say. And it'll never feel like enough. But our hearts are so full, and we love you all so tremendously; and we hope our writing & characters can give you all the same happiness you've given us. 

*BIG HUGS THROUGH THE INTER-WEBS*
