Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: January 12th, 2024 (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!

Now that all the Like Us Series covers are out in the world, which one is your top fav? You can pick an original cover or the illustrated special edition covers!

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! We're getting closer and closer to the release of Nobody Like Us. The cover is here. The blurb is here. All that's left, outside of more teasers, is for all of you to get Chapter 1 early and then it will be in your hands on January 26th! We're soooo proud of this one. It's everything we've envisioned for the end of the series. And....it's a chunk monster. We swore we'd never write a book that comes close to the Long Way Down and Some Kind of Perfect page counts, but this is why we say "never say never" because it happened 😂 The final page count is TBD because we still have to format the interiors. Yes, we live in chaos mode over here and edit until the very last second possible. If you've been here before during a release month, you know we will be doing rereads until we have to press "submit." We are true perfectionists in probably the worst way 😅

As for things happening outside of the Like Us series, don't forget that the last two books in the Addicted series are releasing February (Long Way Down) and March. Some Kind of Perfect has some of our all-time favorite bonuses in the back and you won't be able to get them anywhere else except for the new print edition.

Here in Patreon world, we had another NLU teaser drop plus the cover and blurb! In case you missed it, here's everything that went down:

- Announcement: And the topic for January's Monthly Podcast is...

- First Look: Teaser Tuesday #4 - Nobody Like Us

- First Look: Cover Reveals of Nobody Like Us + Blurb Reveal!

THE SIGNED BOOK STORE

Our signed book store is restocked periodically. Keep checking it to see if a sold out item has been stocked. Any new updates will be posted here:

UNLUCKY LIKE US:

We're still waiting for the new shipment of Unlucky Like Us glossy paperbacks after the last one was printed poorly.  We're likely going to extend the ability to get character notes in these, so have no fear! You'll still have a chance to request character notes in the novel before they become bookplate add-ons.

ADDICTED SERIES:

Thrive and Addicted After All will be up on the store soon. You will be able to add character note bookplate add-ons. As a reminder, these character notes are different for each title :D

NOBODY LIKE US:

The paperback and hardcover will likely not be in the store until March. We will keep you updated when our copies come in and they're stocked. You will be able to request character notes inside these books, since it is a new release.
