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!

Thanksgiving is approaching and you get an invite to Thanksgiving Dinner at the Meadows Cottage, Cobalt Estate, Hale House, and Abbey Loft. (You are so popular!) But alas you can't clone yourself and go to all of them. So you have to choose one place to go for dinner and one for dessert. So where are you going for dinner and where are you having dessert?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! Some really cool news happened this week. For the first time ever, we've put the Like Us Series into Kindle Unlimited. Woot woot 🎉 Truly, NONE of the Like Us Series books have ever been in the KU program. We've always been hesitant because we've been "wide" authors for so long and we know we have many readers on other platforms like Apple Books and Kobo. But we also know this is a big series with a big commitment and the barrier to entry is lower in KU, so we hope this will give some readers the urge to pick these ones up. We don't know how long we'll have them in KU for. It's definitely more of a test for us, since this is the first time in years we've even had books in the program. But we are very excited about it and hopeful that new readers will start the series, and maybe even long-time readers will continue on if they've paused mid-series.

In other news, we've been hard at work on Nobody Like Us. It's starting to really come together in the ways we've imagined and that's one of the best feelings. We're hoping this means smooth sailing until the very end!

And in case you missed this week on Patreon, here's what went down:

I would have to spend all day with the Cobalts. So if I could choose to double down I would. Alas, I don’t want to cheat so I would probably go to the cobalts for the meal and then the Hale’s for dessert.

Andrea

Oooh I’d love to go to the Abbey loft. It’s probably so low key and fun I’d love it 🥰 Also happy late birthday to Garrison! I hope the Abbey family it thriving 💜

Kaitlyn Pasi

dinner at the Hale house because they would have food that hit the SPOT and then dessert with the Meadows because they’d obviously have the widest variety of sweets

Megan

I'd go to the Hale's for dinner and then the Meadows' for dessert!

Yasti

The Hale House for dinner, definitely! I would probably go to anyone for dessert, though. I’m not too picky. I feel like the Meadows would have tons of options though so they might be the best choice!

nourxs

I’d go to the Cobalts house and stay there all night

Sioned

I’m going to the cobalts for dinner because they’d have a plethora of options and then the meadows for dessert!! I just know the chocolate cake would be do to die for!

Zeynep

u and me both

Bella Stanley

I want to say I would go to the Cobalts for dinner because they’d go all out. I imagine it to be similar to Wednesday dinners. Plus to see all the Cobalt kids I know they’d all do their best to make it. But I don’t think I’d fit in very well so I would go with the Hale’s who I think would be a little more down to earth and I would feel the least out of place with them. Then I would go to the Meadows for dessert because obviously they would have all the sweets (chocolate everything and donuts! and waffles!)

cass (ben’s version)

it’s my birthday today!!! it’s been so good so far. i also got indie editions of ricochet and kiss the sky, along with a signed copy of addicted after all. i’m so excited!!

cass (ben’s version)

i would love to have dinner and desert with the cobalts. the whole night would be so fun

Rachel

I’m not a huge Thanksgiving person so I’d definitely go to the Hale’s for dinner because I think it’ll be casual and fun. And maybe a little quirky! 🤪 For dessert I’d go to the Meadows’ where I think I’ll find the best sweets! Plus, I’d give anything to witness Banks and Akara interacting with Ryke at the dinner table 😬

Lauren Gibbs

I'm going to the Hale's for dinner and the Cobalt's for dessert, I need to experience both!! 😋 I'm excited to see you try KU again and if it doesn't work out then at least you tried! I do love the experience of KU as a reader, but I ultimately want to support authors and I know that how restrictive KU is really limits things. 😬 Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a marvelous weekend! ✨️

Miriam

All in with the Cobalts 💙

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Happy Magical Birthday, Cass!! Sending all the b-day magic your way!! *hugs so very tight* So happy it's been good so far and you were able to snag some old indie editions woot woot!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We appreciate all the support so, so much! It's definitely a good time to test it out since the series is almost complete. *fingers crossed it thrives there* 💜

Ellieeeee

As a British girlie we obviously don’t have thanksgiving buttttt i think it has to be The Hale’s, I just feel like It would be soooo cozy 💜

lex

cobalts for dinner and hale for dessert

Stephanie McBride

Dinner and dessert the Hale's (Abbey and Meadows I feel like will make an appearance). I mean they got games, food, and Disney+.

Audrey

I definitely prefer my thanksgivings laidback and casual, so I’m doing the Hales for dinner. But I’ll have to stop at the Cobalts for dessert cause I know whatever my name buddy Audrey made will be amazing😍

Yasti

Okay wait I didn’t even think about Audrey possibly making dessert 😮 I’d definitely have to try that!

Teresa

Umm who are the best cooks in the family ladies. Iam generally curious. I'll take the cobalts because they have a chef and I know without a doubt it will be delicious .iam not much of a desert person just give me some ice cream and iam happy.

Teresa

Will nobody like us be going to kindle unlimited and if so will it be available on release day or later?

Elle

I feel like I’d go to the Hales for dinner (bc Loren might make a way for there to be tacos, which I 100% support). Then the Meadows for dessert 🍩

Farida

i’d go to the hales because they’re my favorite people ever

Lía

I would love to meet all the families but if I have to choose two I would say the Hales and the Meadows. I think I fit more in these families🤭

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Hello, hello, hello !! 🩷 AHHHH, I love this question!! I would for sure go to the Hale House for Thanksgiving dinner — I feel like it would most resemble my own family’s Thanksgiving and be the coziest :). CONGRATS ON KU!! 🥳🩷

Illyana

Hello girles! Thanksgiving! How lovely. I wish i celebrated it. So unfortunately I don't have any meals or traditions myself. I know that some of the recipes, but funnily enough they seem to overlap with Sunday roasts that we do sometimes here. Where every sunday the family makes a thanksgiving meal. So there's that! What about you guys? I will live vicariously through you! Do you normally watch thanksgiving movies on thanksgiving? Hopefully by next week Unlucky Like Us will remain in stock and i can snatch an autographed copy before it sells out! (My bank details were compromised last weekend so i'm waiting for my new card to arrive to hit purchase. It was such a headache and felt low key invasive when it happened... yeah not a great week -.-) This question has definitely had me thinking though! As well as I made my sunday brunch today, how fun would it be to get in the extra sections as a fun idea, some of the Like Us/Addicted cast's favourite drinks or meals! Some ideas at the top of my head could be- -This morning i was like, I so wish i could be making Farrow's go to Sunday breakfast meal! -Donnelly's and Luna's perfect movie snacks compilation for movie night! -Moffy's guide to a perfect cup of tea -Lily and Lo's no fuss no time family meal -Sulli's Olympic Gold certified winning prework our (or post workout) smoothie :) -Willow's guide to perfect snacks while reading comics! -Once we get to Wednesday Night dinners, a formal invitation with the whole dinner menu laid out, or, recipes featured from the dinners! -Ryke's guide on hits and misses when it comes to protein bars (I can just imagine he writing "this one fucking sucks don't eat this it tastes like chalk and trust me, i've tasted chalk XD") -Daisy's recipe to perfect cookies or a frosted cake! And maybe even the recipes annotated inside from the couples themselves! Maybe the recipe maker (I.e. Sulli) instruct but then have Banksie and Kits comment on the side to her as she guides you through the recipe. Essentially them bantering off her! I just know Marrow's would be iconic as well! Or Lunalley! My Heart. Anyway, Food for thought (wink wink ;) Get it?! ahh. I need more coffee.

Illyana

P.s. do you guys still watch the Amazing Race and Big Brother? Do you guys recall what season was your entry point and what seasons your fav were? xx

Lucia

Dinner with the Cobalts (I love them too much), and dessert with the Meadows. That family is big on sweets so I can already see a full on banquet of delicious dessert.

Sarah

Def the meal with the Cobalts and you know Daisy provides the best desserts.

Arrow

I’d go to the Hales for dinner and the Cobalts for dessert!

Illyana

P.S. I FINALLY GOT HOGWARTS LEGACY available for switch and it just arrived in the mail... and to NO surprise my protagonist is a tall brunette green eyed Hale known as MAXIMOFF Hale! hehe. I of COURSE had to play my favourite character in the Like Us series hehe. It's gonna be hard to try and make him a hufflepuff at the sorting hat ceremony bc he is a griffindor... but i know that there is a ship in the game with a certain slytherin named Sebastian... and we all love a griffindor and slytherin ship... the epitome of my favourite trope... Golden Retreiever and black cat trope! So i may have to retcon Moffy's sorting for my own indulgence's sake! hehe forgive me !

shi luvs st.cobalt

I love holiday-themed questions! I would probably choose to visit the Hales for dinner & the Cobalts for dessert! I also noticed that you hit 3,000 Patrons & I wanted to extend my congratulations! 🥳 Thank you for taking the time to do so much for all of us, and for spoiling us with an abundance of content! I’m eternally grateful! 🥹🤎

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Of the Core 6, it's kinda hinted at that only Ryke is good at cooking. The Calloway sisters aren't the best cooks, and Connor is more of an on-the-go fancy take-out person (and in his older age, the Cobalts do have the private chef).

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It will go on KU, but our plan is to have it wide for a few days and then it'll shift to KU.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I think the only Thanksgiving movie we've watched around this time would be the Family Stone, which we always forget about and then watch and it surprises us every time 😂 We have a pretty typical sort of thanksgiving with fam. But I haven't spent it some years with Krista bc she celebrates with her fiancé's fam. It's always so odd not having her around for the holidays! We'll try to post about the next restock too for ULU! It might be a little bit because we're waiting for more books. We sold out of a lot of the ones we just ordered. Oh I love those ideas!!! I'm already thinking about Donnelly and Luna's movie snacks *grins* I'm saving them in our notes bc they would be really fun extra posts, and we've been trying to come up with more extra post ideas lately! Hope you've been doing great, Laura!! *ALL THE HUGS TO YOU* xoxo ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

YES WE DO! This season of Amazing Race is hands-down one of my all-time favorites. I actually think it's 100% a perfect season to start bc it's the most classic feeling Amazing Race in a long time, and there are so many teams to root for, great competitions, and shocking eliminations. It's Season 35. This season of Big Brother was a bottom five season, if not my least favorite season of all-time. It started off strong but then tanked. I would suggest watching Big Brother Season 6 first. It's really addicting, then Season 7 right after. Season 10 is another great season, alongside Season 14. I also really love Season 20. There are way more "bad" seasons of Big Brother than there are good, in my opinion, and you can skip the boring ones, so I would consult online lists that rank them and avoid the low-tier ones at all costs.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Our hearts!! Thank you so, so much, Shi! We appreciate you and your support over so much time. We loveeee seeing you here 🥹 *hugs so tight*

Sioned

(I’m dying!! “In his older age” 💀💀 he’d give you such a belittling look 😭😭)

Illyana

OOO okay! So you reccomend entry points just so i've understood: -Amazing Race: you started at season 35 -Big Brother: you started at Season 6 (other favs: s7,s10,s14,s20) ?🥰

Illyana

Also also! as you guys love top chef, do you guys also watch Master Chef US or The Great British Bake off UK? :D
