Oh Happy Day! ☀️ If you're not on Instagram, we've just announced some big Addicted Series news over there, and we wanted to share a little more details about our 2023 Release Schedule with patrons ☺️💐

First off, here's the post from Instagram: 

WE HAVE AMAZING NEWS! The rest of the Addicted Series will be published in print with Berkley Romance *tosses all the confetti every which way* 🎉 We’re so unbelievably happy we can finally announce this 🥹💖 When we first heard the news that Berkley wanted all 10 books to complete the Addicted series, we were sitting in our car in a grocery store parking lot—and we instantly began crying. It is the best feeling knowing that all 10 books are going to be together and in Berkley’s hands.Thank you to everyone who picked up the new editions. The success of Addicted to You is because of you ✨Next year will be the 10th Anniversary of Addicted to You, and in ten years this series has changed our lives in ways we never could’ve imagined. Writing it, publishing it, and watching readers connect to the characters has deeply impacted us in immeasurable ways. To say this is a dream is an understatement. Thanks to those at Berkley Romance, including our amazing editor Kristine and to our superhero agent Kimberly for making this possible.New print editions means new bonus scenes for these characters and this world, and returning to it has been such a joyful experience. You can expect a highly requested scene coming soon in Addicted for Now (*cough cough* a first date 🌹👀) and we hope you find these new editions extra special.Our indie paperbacks of the entire series will no longer be available soon, so now is your opportunity to buy those indie copies if you need to complete your indie set in print.Some Kind of Perfect will not be getting a cover change for our indie edition, but the Berkley edition will have a pretty new cover that matches the aesthetic of the entire series! 💕 We are sooo excited for this!! 🥳Thank you so, so much to everyone who has been on this journey with us. From longtime readers to new readers to patrons, we're so very grateful you took a chance on our books and gave us support & encouragements. We're just two dorky twins doing what we love, and we're really lucky to keep on doing it. We've quoted her a million times, and we'll probably never stop...as Lily Calloway would say, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘺𝘰𝘶 ⚡️💗

Now to what you've likely been waiting for! The 2023 Release Schedule! Next year is going to be such a big year, and we're so happy we can finally talk about what 2023 will look like. Because a lot of things have changed with this deal with Berkley.

Because the majority of the new print editions of the Addicted series are releasing in 2023, we've had to work out a new schedule. Here's what you can expect:

ADDICTED FOR NOW

DISHONESTLY YOURS

New Romance Series!

Release Date: Fall 2024

Add to Goodreads. 

Check out the Pinterest Board.

Since this deal happened so fast and recently, we've been working with Berkley Romance to figure out a schedule where our Like Us series books (Unlucky Like Us and Nobody Like Us) will release on time. Plus, we also have been working on Dishonestly Yours, which is a three-book series that'll publish with Berkley Romance. It was slated for 2023. 

But... 

Berkley Romance has decided to publish the rest of the Addicted series first. So the new print editions of the Addicted series are basically leading up to this brand new series. 

What does this mean exactly? Dishonestly Yours will be pushed to 2024. We honestly feel like this is absolutely perfect since it means that Luna & Donnelly's books can come out sooner than we expected!! 🥳👽 All next year, our primary focus is back to being on Luna & Donnelly, and the new cast of characters we've been working on will be coming to you a little bit later in 2024. 

If you have any questions, let us know! We'll get to them as soon as we can! November & December are busy months for us (we're writing a ton! 🤓 and the writing cave makes time go by way too fast 😅), so we might be a little slower to respond, but we're trying our best to get to everything. 

And lastly, we want to say thank you so, so much for all the support here over the years! It has meant the absolute world to us, and you all are a huge reason why we've been able to continue writing and found this kind of happiness. We love you all, and we hope this news will bring you some joy too! *hugs so very tight* *keeps tossing confetti* 

xoxo Krista & Becca

P.S. We're also going to record a podcast about what's coming in 2023 this month, so we'll be able to talk more in depth about everything there too! 

P.P.S Addicted After All and Fuel the Fire will also be releasing in 2023 -- release dates to come!

Amelia

THIS IS AMAZING NEWS !! 🥳2023 is going to be such a good year !!🫶🏻😍✨

Ashleigh Davenport

Just saw the announcement on FB - congrats ladies! This is wonderful news!

Zoe Nepolello

AHHHHHH 2023 IS THE YEAR! I am so excited for you guys and having the entire Addicted series be published traditionally—GIANT CONGRATULATIONS! But omg I am too excited about getting all of Luna and Donnelly’s story next year 😍😭😍😭😍😭

Jensen low

I’m soooo happy!!!

Jensen low

ten years next year! Wow! That’s incredible! ❤️🎉🎂

Emely

So happy!!!! Congratulations to you guys!!!

Kaytlynn

I’m so happy for you guys!!! Congratulations!! I’m a little disappointed that the indie some kind of perfect won’t be getting the updated cover tho :(

Alice Berlin

So excited for both Lunelly books next year!!! Congrats!!🥳❤️

Jensen low

Do you when you’ll have your next full restock on the store?

Kaytlynn

Does this change anything for the new like us cover releases? 💕

Lauren Gibbs

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! 😍👏🏻💯💕 I am so happy to see the rest of the series be picked up by Berkeley and this schedule really does seem to be the best way to work everything in! I cannot wait to buy all these books and be SO HAPPY! Also, the FIRST DATE!??!?!?! BE STILL MY HEART! 😆👏🏻✨️

Cait

this is the best news ever! congrats to you guys, you deserve it. i can’t wait for lunnelly to come back 😭🫶

Illyana

I am elated to see this Lore queens! Bravo you guys! You guys deserve this and more! Does this mean that for the Like Us/Addicted Universe the year of 2024 we will pause that universe for the Dishonestly Yours publications? Or is it just SECRET wink wink for now, cuz you guys still plan on keeping the famous ones universe released parallel to the Dishonestly Yours series? Sounds weird to say but i LOVE waiting with abetted breath about when ur releases come out! It avoids expectations being built up, anticipation remains the same and less room for noisy chattering theories to go around about who should be with who and what should happen etc. Creating original IP and ideas takes time! And it all serves us in the long run if we don't pressurise the process and just all around celebrate your fantastic work!

Sasha Casey

YAY CONGRATS 🥳🥳 both lunelly books so soon omg!! THEN COBALT BROTHERS (maybe)?!?! YAS

Stephanie

I wonder what this means for the signed store and also for the special editions of Calloway books (the guy's covers)?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We haven't discussed an exact date for books after Nobody Like Us, so it really doesn't impact it too much. The only thing we are looking at for release dates now is that we can't self-publish anything too close to the Dishonestly Yours books, so we have just smaller windows to self-publish in 2024. But we know we can make it work! 💖

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We are SO PUMPED about Luna & Donnelly's books being able to come out all next year! It was the cherry on top to everything for us too!! 🥰🥰

Julia

OMG this is all amazing news!🥳🎉CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m so happy for you and this is so well deserved!! The icing on top of the cake is that we get the rest of Luna and Donnelly’s books earlier than expected!!😱🥳 I’m so excited!!😄

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We had hoped to be able to update the indie cover for SKOP, but the time it takes to do the interiors is why we couldn't do it in the first place when we redid the rest of the Calloway Sisters covers. Because it's one chunky book. And we just won't have the time to complete it before Berkley will want the indie version removed. So it's just not possible for us since we do everything ourselves ❤️ We're really sorry; we know this is a bummer for a lot of readers. SKOP has always been the cover that sort of stood on its own and hasn't matched the rest of the series, so we thought maybe it'd be okay.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We might not be able to do a full restock on the store for the rest of 2022 (we're about to be in a much bigger writing cave 😅). But we'll continue to do small batch restocks, which have been a lot more manageable for us and haven't taken away from writing 💕

G

This is amazing news I’m praying it’s coballoway first date plus lunnelly coming back next year 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

kristen

IM SO EXCITED. TAKE ALL MY MONEY!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

This news doesn't change anything with the new Like Us covers, but we're planning to release the rest of the covers in batches since we're still working on the interiors. It's likely we'll release them by couple, so Thatcher & Jane will be next!! Woot woot!! xoxo

Indy

Omg congrats you guys!! I’m so happy we get Lunnelly sooner and I can’t wait to buy all the published books🥹🥹

Vicki

Congratulations!! 🥳🎉 So happy for you both!! I’m unbelievably excited to read the rest of Lunnelly’s story, looking forward to 2023 👽✨

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It really turned out to be so awesome because Luna & Donnelly didn't have to come out between the new Berkley series. Everything really did work out! ✨️

Amalia Maragoto

I will be broke as hell after all of this AHHHHHH I am screaming and jumping around on the inside (cuz i’m at work) this is the best news I’ve heard everrrrrr 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Yasti

This is wonderful news, congrats! So excited to see the Addicted/Calloway sisters books in bookstores 🥰🥳 And I can’t wait for the rest of Luna and Donnelly’s novels! 😍😍

G

Are the bonus scenes for each book new bonus scenes or ones from patreon? 👀

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The universe won't pause in 2024! So for Dishonestly Yours trilogy, those books have to be complete well before their release dates, so we have blocks of time where we know we'll be writing them. The first one will already be done this year. So we'll only have to write the last two, and for the Like Us/Addicted World, we usually finish those books super close to when they get published. We foresee ourselves self-publishing in 2024 💗 We just can't publish at the same time that the Dishonestly Your trilogy comes out. We are hoping to work on the things that come out Luna & Donnelly secretly before announcing them too! 🤓 Sending much love to you, Laura! *BIG HUGS*

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The Special Editions will be coming down soon and no longer available, so if you're interested in those, we suggest to get them asap! If they're sold out, we'll have some inventory left for restocks, but once our inventory is gone, we won't be able to restock them on the signed store

Illyana

yeehaw dolls! YESS Very excited to hear that! I have always loved seeing ur novels rise in popularity over the decade (even if it was for the longest part privately as when i become hooked it was around the time of when Long Way down was first released!) but now i can call you girls my friends and i can honourably say on a personal level, how happy i am for you guys. Qualities I esteem in people - commitment, leadership, loyalty, positivity, excitement, sass and a huge amount of giving-ness- you guys possess and i know that now on a personal level and am again, so elated and happy we can all celebrate this for you. What a privilege! xx

Maria

So proud of you guys😭 can't wait for Lily and Lo's full story be in stores❤️

Megan Garcia de Leon

2023 the year of Lunnelly 🖤🖤🖤 and we get people like us!! 🎉🎊🎊🎉🎉🎊🎊 congratulations you guys deserve it and we love it! Can’t wait to see the bonus scenes

kaia

What books will you have at Book Bonanza ‘23 if the old copies won’t be available? Also congratulations, so excited for the new copies!

Stephanie

Will the Berkley editions be on the signed store?

Isabella

This is SO EXCITING for you girls!! So proud of all you’ve accomplished, you deserve everything! Can’t wait to read all the new bonus scenes and have lunnelly sooner🥺

Lanie

Congratulations!! You deserve this!! What about People Like Us?

Teresa

So excited about Lunnelly books being completed in 2023!! Are you ladies going to stick to the seasons release date without giving an actual date until its very close to release. Also, if Dishonestly yours takes up 2024 are you allowed to published other books that year aswell, iam talking about standalones not just books from the Like us series.

Gerniah Liburd

This is so exciting, congratulations! Especially looking forward to the next two Lunnelly books next year and finally getting to see Conner and Rose’s first date 💙

Sioned

Congrats you guys!!! Sending you lots and lots of love and hugs 💗💗💗 what does this mean for the cobalt empire series? and I can’t wait for lunally books!! Love those guys xx

Sioned

Was this the news you had to stay hush hush about? xx

Cato Seghers

So happy for you!! Can’t wait to buy these books next year 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Ellieeeee

Ahhhhhh no way Luna and Donnelly’s books are coming way quicker than I expected, 2023 is gonna be an exciting yearrrr 🫶📚

Sascha

AHHHHH oh my gosh such amazing news all around!!! Congrats on all 10 books being published im so excited but cannot say i’m too surprised haha 🥳🥳 Also so excited to hear that Lunnelly books are coming sooner than later I’m already missing them so much 💚💜💚💜

Thaís Brito

That’s what I’d like to know as well

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg this made us tear up! You're so kind, Laura! 🥹 And we feel so happy & grateful that you found our books and love all the lore-ish things within this universe! Plus, just knowing that you became a comic book fan is the BEST! Love you bunches! xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

As of right now, we're not positive we can post the new Addicted material that'll be in the back of the new print editions on Patreon. That might change in the future, though!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

There should be a bookseller at Book Bonanza where you can purchase the Berkley editions of the Addicted series to get signed at our table. But we're likely to have mostly Like Us series at our table, plus Bad Reputation, Love & Other Cursed Things, and the Circus is Family series 💓

kaia

Yay, so excited! Cant wait to see you at bb23 💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

PLU is coming this month, woot woot! We're always actively writing bonus material between working on novels, and now it's People Like Us era 🎉

Kristin

Congratulations!! This is so exciting.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We might announce the months of Unlucky & Nobody next year, since we do know the exact months Unlucky Like Us and Nobody Like Us will have to be released. But for future novels outside of those, we might continue to just announce seasons. We haven't really decided just yet 💗 In 2024, we can publish anything in the Like Us series or novels related to the second generation of the Addicted characters.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so much!! This news doesn't affect much with the Cobalts because we really didn't have dates in mind for anything beyond Luna & Donnelly's novels yet, and traditional publishing is a bit different than self-publishing since the novels need to be complete a year in advance before they're released for trad 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

YES! It was killing us not being able to say anything! Especially since it really does shake up things for 2023, and we were so excited to share the news about Luna & Donnelly's books coming out sooner 😁

Mikayla Goertz

Great news!!! How much longer do I have to buy the old covers? I need a little over a week before I can buy the physical editions for my collection and I don’t want them to discontinue before then. I’m currently in the EU rn if that makes a difference.

Nimasha

I’m so so happy for you both and grateful and excited for all the changes and context ❤️❤️❤️

Sioned

Yay!!! So glad we finally know! I’m Alloa so pumped for PLU eeek

Sioned

Ohhh gotch 💗 trad?

Sioned

OOOOOOH!!!!!!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

LETS GO OMG IM SO HAPPY LIKE US IS GETTING RELEASED SOONER IM ALSO SO EXCITED FOR DISHONESTLY YOURS AND LIKE TWO LUNA AND DONNELY BOOKS IN ONE YEAR BE STILL MY HEART WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TREAT!!! ALSO MY BIRTHDAY IS AROUND SPRING SO UNLUCKY LIKE US IS GONNA BE LIKE A BIRTHDAY PRESENT ALSO YOU GUYS DESERVE THIS SO MUCH!! Okay Ill stop yelling now HAHA 🥰🥰

Lanie

Aww that's amazing!! Can't wait to read

natalya

Will the content in the special edition books be somewhere else?

Vi Truong

Congrats!!! I expected this 🥰

Chelsea Bartolotta

So pumped for both of you!! Will the bonus material in the new print additions be made available anywhere else or strictly in the new print copies?

Dani G

This is amazing news! I am so happy for this amazing news. Congratulations!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Trad is just shorthand for traditional publishing, which is publishing through a publisher like Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Scholastic, Simon & Schuster etc. Basically anything that's not self-publishing ☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We haven't been given the *exact* dates that the indie editions will be removed, but we do know that the ones on pre-order right now (Addicted for Now, Kiss the Sky, Hothouse Flower, Thrive) will be removed super quickly. It might be within a week or so. If you need any of these, we'd suggest getting them sooner than later, and maybe waiting on the other ones. We're also not sure if the timeframes will be different in the EU than in the US. We wish we had more info to offer, but you could always gamble and wait in case it's slower to be removed off the EU sites 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'd love to write a Cobalt Empire spin-off series! But we haven't confirmed anything or announced self-published projects beyond Luna & Donnelly's novels just yet. As our schedules keep shifting, we're more hesitant to confirm anything that far out until it's closer 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The bonus material is likely to just be exclusively in the new print editions. We really don't know if we'll ever be able to post them on Patreon

Chelsea Bartolotta

Makes sense figured I would double check since I own some of the old cover versions already

Sioned

Thank you for answering! 💗💗

Lauren G

I literally just started crying finding out the rest of Lunnelly will drop 2023 😭😭😭😭😭 I am so happy for you girls and every single thing is so deservingly earned with this beautiful family saga! I can’t wait to read Dishonestly Yours in 2024, but am selfishly relieved we won’t be left waiting for our misfits to find their HEA! 🥲🥲

Michelle Roberson

Any updates about People Like Us? Is that still happening? Sorry, I've been gone for a while and might have missed an announcement about that. 🥰

Hanna

Do you know when the last possible time will be to get the current indie editions?

Teresa

Yes ,it's still coming out this month

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The earliest (we think) would be a week or so! They are likely to be taken down pretty soon (at least the ones that are currently on pre-order with Berkley Romance) xoxo

Vi Truong

Congratulation Krista and Becca!! You two deserve this sooo much! Ahh I remember the YouTube release era, the Christmas card, the start of patreon, and then the publishing rights!! I love seeing all your milestones moments and dreams come true. You two deserve ALL of It and this world is Everything! I can’t wait for more people to recognize the awesomeness of the core8! Tad jealous of all the new readers and their discovery of this new series 🥹😍💕💕 I love the schedule release! 2023 is going to be EPIC! I do have a question will the special HB edition to Luna/Paul be released at the same time as the face edition? Moving forward?

Michelle Smith

Same! I've been anxiously waiting for my Marrow fix and can't wait for this!!!
