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!

Summer is here! Which Addicted or Like Us character are you choosing to go on a beach trip with? 

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & super heroic beauties! We're at the last Friday of May, which means all your promised content has dropped or will be dropping soon. This month has been a whirlwind, and we're not even a little bit shocked it's almost over. 2023 is proving to be a year of the Speed Force where everything is going by in a flash. June is extra packed with another print release and a book signing, so we're looking forward to all the fun stuff coming soon! 

We hope your May has been magical, and this will be a May we never forget since Becca got married earlier this week. *tosses all the confetti* *cries in happy tears* (I'm so so happy for my twinnie!!)  Love is in the air and we're super excited to keep the romance vibes going as we finish up Unlucky Like Us. 💓

This week on Patreon, a new bonus scene and the monthly podcast dropped. In case you missed it, here they are: 

- Extra Bonus: Extra Bonus #74: Donnelly's Sacrifice

Sarah

I would go on a beach vacation with Rose, I feel like she would make it a very organized event, which would put both of us at ease and she would make it a lot of fun.

Elle

I think I’d go with Mr. Long Beach himself- Jack. If the beach trip was at the Philippines, then he’d be the perfect guide 🙏🏼

Sara

Congrats on your marriage, Becca! I’d go to the beach with Lily and Lo… we’d go pet the turtles like they did in Cancun 🥰

Sascha

omg huge congrats becca!!! 🥂🤍

Shelby Keating

Omg! I’m so excited for the ulu cover!!!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

HUGE congratulations Becca!! Also I think i’d pick Farrow because he has the capacity to be chill while also being organized which is exactly what I need on a holiday 😂 AND OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THE ULU COVER!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Andrea

Jack of course!! It’s the only correct answer 😂

Marcades

Congratulations Becca!!!! 💖🫶🎊✨ I would choose Jane to go to the beach with me!! 🌞 we would have so much fun! also long way down comes out on my birthday!! Can’t wait to keep collecting all of the rereleases 🤗🥳

Yasti

Despite growing up basically on the beach, I’m not really a beach person. I have a fear of the deep sea so I’d prefer to stick close to the shore. Buuut if I had to go I’d want to go with someone who would be happy to hang out and build sand castles. Or better yet: a character who would like to read under a beach umbrella with me! Not sure who that would be though 😇

Lucia

I wanna go with Jack and Oscar and see how much Oscar's surfing skills have improved hahaha

Shelby Keating

When do you think you’ll start teaser Tuesday’s for ULU

Sioned

I think probably in late June or early July, depending on the release date :)

Shelby Keating

Its gotta be sometime in june. Since we know it releases in july and I figure it’s probably early/mid july since thrive releases on august 1st and they wouldn’t wanna do it too close together

Sioned

Ohhh you make a good point

Meagan

I would want to go with Rose. She would be so organized and if anything went wrong she would be taking care of it. A guy hits on you… don’t worry Rose will make him disappear. Also, honorable mention would be Oscar because he has the snacks!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank youuu so much, Sara!! The beach with LiLo would be sooo much fun! I love this pick! ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Jack teaching everyone how to surf in kindness and positive affirmations and pure sunshine 😍 😍

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so much!! And ahh sooo excited for LWD on your birthday!! Thank you so, so much for getting the new editions ☺️☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I could see Luna being a sandcastle umbrella person at the beach. I can also see someone like Donnelly being pretty good at building a sandcastle and no one realizing until he's crafted this masterpiece 😂

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Likely sometime in June! It's more likely to be mid-late June though, but you can expect them to start next month xoxo

Yasti

Haha yep I bet that would be so fun though! 😇 Sandcastle masterpieces for the win 💪🏼

Elara

Random question. A lot of indie books that get a traditionally published deal end up redoing the audio books. Do you know if the audio will stay the same? I love the audios for all the Addicted Universe books.

terra

I just started Hothouse Flower for my reread! I’m hoping to finish all of them before Unlucky!! Hopefully i don’t finish them before it comes out like i did with Misfits! I am anxiously waiting but any reason to reread i’ll take it! I haven’t even read the People Like Us extras yet because I want to have material to read just in case!!

Nimasha

Oh my gosh congratulations Becca <3 That's such happy news <3

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We believe the audiobooks are staying same. Audio wasn't a part of the deal that we had with Berkley, so they should all be the same for a long while! Thank you so much for checking out the audio for the series!! *hugs tight*
