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!

This question is coming in celebration of the big Addicted series news yesterday! Have you read the Addicted series? If so, what is your favorite book of the bunch? 

WEEKLY RECAP

Happy Friday, beauties! Last Saturday, we were in Orlando at Shameless Book Con, and it was more magical than we could've anticipated ✨ We get so giddy at signing events and being able to see readers. If we saw you there, thank you so much for stopping by our table and for waiting in line! We loved, loved, loved meeting & seeing you all. We honestly had no idea we had such a long line either. We thought it was for the bar! And when we both realized it was for us, we got super emotional. When we published our first book together, nearly a decade ago, we couldn't have imagined that many people would wait in line to see us. We appreciate you all so much. We know we always say it, but thinking of all of you makes our hearts swell -- and seeing you in person is such an amazing experience. We hope it was for you, too. If we could, we'd chat with all of you for hours 💗

And there is a lot of Patreon content to come this month, including the start of People Like Us. But this week was mostly about the big news we had to share. So here's what went down in case you missed it:

Absolutely LOVE the addicted series! It’s hands down my favorite book series! My favorite has to be either Thrive or Addicted after all!!! I’m a LILO girl through and through! Hale fam forevaaa! Love you guys💗💗💗

Andrea

Long Way Down is my favorite, hits me in gut every time 🥺 Your line at Shameless was ridiculous! Loved seeing that for you 💕 So happy for you on your deal with Berkeley!! 🎉 And that Lunnelly books will be here sooner 😉 and that People Like Us will be here soon!! Really a lot to be excited about right now lol I had a question now that the Addicted & Calloway Series will be traditionally published. Will you be able to sell signed copies of them on your store or will they be exclusively sold by Amazon & bookstores?

Lauren Gibbs

I love the Addicted series so much! It's really hard to pick a favorite but I think I'll go with Fuel the Fire~ ✨️ The news this week was so exciting, I'm so happy the entire series was picked up!! 😍👏🏻 I can't wait for the start of PLU, I've missed all those characters so much! It's gonna be awesome~ 🥰💕🥳

Marcades

The addicted series is my comfort series and i find myself re reading one of the books from the series at least once a month ❤️❤️ have such a soft spot for all the characters!!! My favourite is Kiss the Sky 🤗

Meg

Addicted after all!! I love pregnant rose and lily!!! ❤️❤️❤️ but kiss the sky and fuel the fire will forever be my favorite books for life! :)

Yasti

I love the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series so much! Probably my fave series of all time💓 My signed copies of ATY and Ricochet finally came in the mail today after months of being tossed around the world at various distribution centers 😂 My fave book that series though is 100% Long Way Down! It was just so perfect 🥹 Especially the epilogue. It got me hyped for SKOP 😇

a

im re reading the addicted series right noww and i just love it soooo muchhh❤️❤️❤️❤️ my fav is hothouse flower and addicted after all!! 🔥🔥 also i was reading the psychic scene in kiss the sky and i screamed when the psychic said that rose will have twin boyss and that she’s fertile🤣🤣🤣 (little does Rose knoww🤣🫶🏼)

Haley Secen

1000% have read them - next week will be EIGHT YEARS since I’ve picked them up, so I’m loving the timing of this announcement 😍🥰 it’s so hard to pick a favorite because it really just depends on my mood, but Hothouse Flower and Long Way Down have these super satisfying moments after so much build up. Plus those feel like the books where *all* the characters are at good spots 💕

Illyana

Hey darlings! Again congrats on the amazing news for you guys! I can’t really choose a favourite cuz nightly I just reread them in chronological in a loop, but if I had to choose it would probably be SKOP because i think it’s so unique. A prologue to the next series so a foundational story and a coda to addicted. It’s kind of a therapy book that I wished more authors did, so “endings” didn’t feel so daunting. In fact it doesn’t feel like an ending at all !

Illyana

As I write this funnily enough I’m rewatching the batman 2022! And I can just picture Moffy and farrow watching this. And you know what it got me thinking. Moffy is in a lot of ways more like a flash or superman type character. Someone who leads with kindness and uses their strength and abundant powers to give back as oppose to act from a sole self gain. Which makes me question then, why is Batman his favourite character? What makes him, the main solo character he leads and fans over? And it got me thinking to how he did the same thing with farrow. How despite his nature, Boy Scout nature (wink wink) he is drawn to dark themes and a more dares are lifestyle. But he doesn’t make a show of it (like how he kept his childhood crush hush hush). He secretly reads Batman. But in private, he’s very sexually driven, into farrows tattoos, and bullies farrow as a form of flirtation and loves farrows leather wearing aesthetic and drawn to gothamite themes. What do you guys make of it? Has farrow ever picked up on this observation with Moffy? (Sorry this is just one of the numerous musings I have on the daily about our beloved universe 🥰)

kylie

addicted after all or skop are definitely my favs

Cait

Congrats again! addicted after all and skop are my faves

Lauren G

So hard to decide and honestly depends on what I’m looking for when I re read, but I think I find myself revisiting Hothouse Flower and Long Way Down most often. Ryke and Daisey’s romance is so loving and emotional. It gets me every time ❤️ Congratulations, girls! You deserve all the amazing things coming your way in 2023 and 2024! I can’t wait to read all of it! 😊

Teresa

Question , back in the Addicted/Calloway sisters series Connor secrets were revealed and Daisy already knew he had been with men because he told her while she was sleepwalking, was there a scene actually showing that happen with him revealing that to her if so where?

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

OFCOURSE IVE READ THE ADDICTED SERIES ive also read the entire calloway sisters series and every like us book to date its geniuenly the best series ive ever read and all the characters have forever captured my heart and if im picking a favourite it’s probably hothouse flower if were saying the entire series but if were only talking about addicted books id pick addicted after all as my favourite

Catherine

Some Kind of Perfect has to be my favorite book, it is truly my comfort book. Congratulations on your news from Berkley! I am so happy for you and have been hoping this would happen since you announced them picking up Addicted to You and Ricochet. I noticed that on the penguin random house site they label Kiss The Sky and Hothouse Flower as part of the addicted series. I wondered if that means they will be just labeling them as one series (the Addicted Series) instead of the two (the Addicted Series and the Calloway Sisters Series)?

Beatrice

Of course I’ve read the addicted AND the Calloway sisters series!! To me the addicted series includes both addicted and Calloway sisters. You can’t read addicted without having read Calloway sisters and vice versa. My favorite books are kiss the sky, fuel the fire, addicted after all, and of course some kind of perfect 🫶🏻

Julia

Yes, I’ve read the whole Addicted Series!! Many times throughout the years lol. Picking a favorite is so hard! I would probably go with Fuel the Fire if I had to choose but I love all of them SO much!💖 It was so great meeting you two at Shameless!! Thank you for being so nice as my socially awkward self was totally fangirling over meeting you🤣 You’re my absolute favorite authors!! This was the first book signing my sister and I had been to and we’re already wanting to plan another one when we can make it work with our schedules and the location! Do you know how far in advance you’ll be able to announce the other signing your going to in 2023 and the east coast signing you mentioned in a Fizz Hangout that you’ll be at in 2024?

Lucia

OF COURSE IVE READ IT!! They're my fav book series along with the like us series. It would have to be Some Kind of Perfect or Fuel the Fire. I love absolutely all of them but seeing Connor's growth, his relationship with Ryke finally flourishing and the end of Scott was amazing. And with SKOP... What an amazing end to the series. So excited for all the upcoming books and so happy for your new from Berkley!!

Michelle

I don’t want to choose. Skop of course but the change in narrators for Lo was a bummer. Getting inside the minds of Connor and Rose in kiss the sky and fuel the fire, was e very thing to me. I just dig the fuck out of Connor. But in the first addicted book when Lo leaves for rehab, that the most memorable, poignant scene in all the books. For me anyhow. Then when Misfits came out and Lo tells Donnelly to wait for Luna like he asked of Lilly, we’ll the was gut wrenching.

Sarah

I’ve read all of them numerous times but I’m stuck between KTS & LWD.

Kaitlyn Pasi

it’s a tie between KTS, SKOP, and addicted after all

Teresa

Thank you!

Stephanie

Will the Berkley editions be in the signed store?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah LOVE that someone out there loves Thrive as much as we do! It has some of our fav scenes of the whole series 💗 Sending lots of love to you, Anasha! xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Loved seeing you at the Con, Andrea!! 💗 Best memories 🥰 We're working on getting inventory of the Berkley editions (Addicted to You & Ricochet) to sell on our store right now, so we will be able to sell them on our signed store 🎉

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aww our hearts!! Thank you so much for rereading them!! Knowing they're a "comfort read" makes us emotional in the best ways 🥹

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Yayyy we're so happy that Addicted to You & Ricochet finally reached you and didn't get lost! xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oh we love that scene in Kiss the Sky! 😁 Thank you so much for rereading!! *hugs tight*

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Some Kind of Perfect does feel like a little bit of everything and the prequel to Like Us series! We always find ourselves rereading that one the most 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Batman has to be Moffy's favorite likely because Batman has this internal rage (and he's human, unlike Superman). So you are definitely right that outwardly, Maximoff is the Captain America/Superman, but inwardly, Maximoff is trying to cope with his humanity -- the sense that he is just a human and no one see this inside of him, except Farrow. He sees the hurt, pain, rage, flaws and all of Maximoff Hale. He sees the *Batman* vigilante of Moffy. It's likely Farrow has asked Maximoff about it, and Maximoff would analyze himself this way, too.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so, so much for your kind words, Lauren! We can't wait for readers to see all the new editions of the Addicted series 🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Berkley Romance is marketing the *entire* 10-book series as one series (the Addicted series), and the reading order is our recommended reading order with Rose & Daisy's stories intertwined with Lily's. It's the original publishing order and how the series was always meant to be read, so we're so incredibly happy that they decided to do this 🥹 Usually, the only times we tell people to read them separately as two series is if they don't like long series, but we've always believed the best & most fulfilling reading experience is to read them all together in this order as one series. So this is our long-winded way of saying that it's just being called the Addicted series, which includes all three Calloway sisters' stories 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Hi Julia!! So awesome to now put a face to your name!! We loveeeed meeting you and your sister! Such a highlight of the signing!! 🥰🥰 You two are rays of sunshine, and we know our aunt & mom adored you both! Usually for signings, we're not allowed to announce them until the event makes the announcement first. And they usually wait until after this year's event is finished and they've finalized things for next year. We'll be in Book Bonanza in 2023, and then on the west coast in the Fall 2023 -- we can tease that the Fall 2023 event is one that we've attended before! You can see our past events here: https://www.kbritchie.com/events We also love Southern Belle Book Events since they usually have some events around our area, and the organizers are super sweet: https://www.southernbellebookevents.com/about-us Hopefully we'll be able to make the announcement for the 2023 west coast signing soon! The 2024 likely won't be announced until next year 💗

Illyana

oh i TOTALLY misunderstood the point :P you know that gif that's like you, a stick figure and then a box labelled 'the point' flies across your head and youre just deadass? that's me with moffy's relationship with batman :P But you're TOTALLY right! (of course! haha). I def can see especially in Lovers Like Us that deep seeded internal battle happen within him and how that can be echoed in batman's internal monologue as well! But you raise a FUN point i will totally exploit about how 'it is likely farrow has asked Maximoff about it' and would LOVE to see this conversation fleshed out... maybe in a cheeky bonus scene or in PLU? GOD I'M SO SPOILED :P :D <3

Julie

Addicted to you for sure, meeting all of the characters and feeling how down lily and lo were at this time. (I also love the huge thick happy ever after book that bookends the first books)

Sara

Addicted After All is my favorite book of all time. Lily and Lo’s growth is everything to me and seeing them get their happy ending after working SO HARD to get there makes me so emotional. They are my favorites in every universe!
