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!

You are stuck in an elevator, but you get to choose who you're stuck with. Which Like Us character would you want there with you?️

Bonus Question: If you've finished all 13 of the Like Us books now, which one is your TOP favorite? 

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! We had an amazing time at Love Y'all Romance Book Fest. Every time we get to see readers, it feels like a dream. Even dreamier when we meet some of you and you say you're patrons. It's very cosmic to us because we truly love Patreon so much, and it means the world to see you all at events. 

We have a super special signing coming up to celebrate the release of Some Kind of Perfect. We will be at the B&N Cumberland on March 5th to hand out some new SKOP stickers and a new tote bag to the first 20 readers. This is the last re-release and that means everyone's collections of the Addicted Series will now be complete. We are so excited for this one, since it has some of our favorite bonus scenes in the back! Truly, these bonuses are soooo special to us. We can't wait for you all to read them 💖

We are soaring towards the finish line for Book 2 in the Webs We Weave series. It's such a strange feeling writing this one when Book 1 hasn't released yet 😂 It's a struggle for us because all we want to do is talk about these characters with you all! July 2nd can't come fast enough.

Here on Patreon, it was all about the podcasts this week. So in case you missed it, here's what went down:

- Monthly Podcast: Monthly Podcast #74: All About Ben Cobalt 🦜

Sarah

Jane because we would be able to figure it out together but Thatcher if I need to stay more calm.

a

my top favorite has to be alphas like us followed by all marrow books 💙💙💙

Andrea

I’d pick Moffy, he can be in charge of getting us out of there 😂 my favorite book of the series is Fearless I love it so much 💙🥺

a

are you going to be able to write/post bonus scenes for webs we weave series on patreon (after it releases ofc)? or is that not allowed since its being traditionally published?

faith

probably wouldn’t mind being stuck in an elevator with moffy. maybe farrow. definitely someone that can pass the time without panicking or keeping us entertained. luna would be a cute idea too. she’d probably turn it into a cool little scenario or something. ALSO: NLU is definitely my favorite. lots of nostalgia and family in that one and offers and soliddd conclusion to the series

Kelly.

I can not pick a favorite!

Debbie Greene

Farrow! My answer for nearly any question will always be Farrow. ❤️

cass (ben’s version)

i know i always say it, but ben. i swear i have reasoning! i would absolutely freak out, and his optimism would absolutely help calm me down. plus he’d probably try to calm me down too. i think he’d definitely make me feel better. (plus who wouldn’t want to be in a secluded space with THE ben cobalt??)

Sara

I'd want to be stuck with Oscar because he'd have snacks! And, Misfits is my favorite -- love Lunnelly so much!

Julia

I watched the first season of Fire Country because I was looking for a new show to watch and remembered you two mentioning it on a previous podcast! It is so good! I love all of the family, friend, and romantic relationships! Are you watching the second season? I watched the first episode and am excited to watch the second one later tonight!

Blue Bleu

I’d definitely pick Moffy or Farrow, They’re very reliable. They’re my favorite Like Us characters along with Charlie & Beckett. Question, have you guys thought of writing a romance where the main female character is older than her male love interest? Because there’s already so many romance stories where it’s the other way around & it’s kind of getting redundant🥲 I hope you guys will consider exploring that storyline too where the woman is older, preferably in the Like Us series.

Bella Stanley

I’d want to be stuck in an elevator with Farrow. He would be so levelheaded and would definitely help me with my anxiety, but also I’m definitely the person who has researched what to do in broken elevator situations so I already feel somewhat prepared if it’d happen. But I’d feel bad that the best doctor is stuck in an elevator. I haven’t finished the Likes Us series yet, but my current favorite has been Wild Like Us. I love the camping storyline and road trip vibes! Not sure if Nobody will be able to surpass it for me. Plus I just really love Kitsulletti 🩵💜❤️

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Donnelly or Luna or Farrow or Maximoff all the way!! We'd get along so so well and they're so fun and would help me not freak out lol but on that note my OTP is Lunnelly all the way they own my heart and soul!!! I can't wait to talk about DY on here!! On that note!! Would you guys consider opening a new spoiler room chat for DY or maybe just replacing the NLU one when DY comes out? SO SO excited for the bonus scenes!!

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Hello !! 🩷 This is a hard one (🙈) because I do think it’d be entertaining to be stuck in an elevator with all the character (even if it’s a bit cramped 😂). I’d probably pick Tom or Eliot to be stuck in an elevator with because they’d be the most entertaining! One of them, isolated in an elevator, couldn’t cause **too** much chaos … right ?? 😅 I have read them all (🥳🩷) and it’s sooo hard to pick a favorite !! My heart belongs to Lunnelly, but Jane and Thatchers books have some of my favorite tropes 🥺🩷. ** NOBODY LIKE US SPOILER BELOW** One of my favorite scenes in NLU was Tom’s birthday party !! I **adored** Leo’s appearance and I’m soooo hoping we see a lot of him in Cobalt Empire 🩷🤞. I keep thinking about how Leo called Donnelly “Don” (which I thought was **hilarious 😂😂) and I know that Donnelly must have been around Leo all of time when he was Beckett’s bodyguard, and I was wondering if you’d write more bonuses from Donnelly’s POV during that time? Leo seemed like he knew Eliot and Tom well enough as well and I’m sooo curious as to how much Leo has actually interacted with the Cobalts !! 🩷🩷 (I think it’s so funny Leo knew which Cobalt brother to wink at to stir the pot 😂😂).

Riyaak

If I were to get stuck in an elevator, I think I’d definitely pick Eliot or Donnelly. Or maybe Moffy. Favourite book?! They were all amazing, I definitely don’t have a favourite!! (Alphas Like Us/Charming Like Us)

shi luvs st.cobalt

I 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗲 Tom, but I am terrified of being stuck inside of an elevator with someone that can sing (or worse, someone that thinks that they can sing, but can’t). 😭 I know that Tom 𝗰𝗮𝗻 sing — and I’m not saying that he’s definitely the type to sing whilst stuck in an elevator — but that video of that person singing “Country Roads” in an elevator has frightened me for life. Even a 1% chance of that happening is still 1% too high for me. (This is the video that I’m referencing, by the way: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8oNAdG7/)

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m soo excited to chat about DY as well! Only 130 days to go! 🥹🤎

shi luvs st.cobalt

Oscar is such a great answer! He’s strong, intelligent, and he always has snacks with him! :)

Meagan

I’m actually pretty scared of elevators so I think Luna or Donnelly would be a good at distracting me. But Moffy would probably use his fancy bracelet to climb out and get help 🤣 Favorite Like Us book is Nobody Like Us. I can’t stop thinking about it. I think I have Luna’s epilogue memorized by now

Kelly.

I just ordered SKOP bonus edition…. Does anyone know if the other books with bonus are still available?

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Ok being stuck on an elevator - I’d choose to have Donnelly with me because I’d want him to break up the tension with laughter but also he’s actively try to get us help so I’d need both… been stuck in an elevator for 4 hours before alone - do not recommend!! And my favorite book?? That’s like asking me to choose a favorite child!!!! Marrow made me fall in love with this universe so I’d have to say Headstrong Like Us is my TOP favorite 😍 (but NLU is the closest of seconds!!!)

shi luvs st.cobalt

I would want to be stuck with either Moffy or Banks! :) Others have mentioned this as well, but Moffy’s preparedness — as well as his general reliability — would be a big comfort during such a stressful time. I wouldn’t have to worry about being stuck inside of the elevator until the end of time, I would have full faith that we would be able to make it out alive. I also think that Banks would be a good choice to have with me because he’s familiar with the inner-workings of machinery (since he has some experience being a mechanic). If there was something that we could do on our end to get the elevator back up and working again, then I’m sure that he would be able to help do it! Who would you want to be stuck with? :) ———— My favorite book is the “Like Us” series is “Headstrong Like Us”! Moffy + Farrow have such a special place in my heart, and that book is such a perfect final one for them! 🥹 ———— I’m not sure if you’ve been keeping up with “The Bachelor”, but on the most recent episode there was a one-on-one date that featured a Cirque du Soleil aerial specialist, and it made me think of the Kotovas! 🥹🤎 ———— I also cannot wait for the new edition of SKOP! I’m so excited to read the new bonuses that are inside of it, and I’m also super excited for the bonuses this month (I can’t wait to see whose POVs they’re in)! :)

Arrow

After the All About Ben podcast I would want to be stuck with Ben! I have a big fear of getting stuck in elevators, so I would need his eternal optimism. And my favorite Like Us book is Headstrong Like Us! I just love Ripley!

Lucia

I would love to be stuck in an elevator with Jane and Audrey. The tea Audrey would spill is priceless hahaha

Jess

I am still having trouble deciding who I would choose 🤔

nour el sabbagh

if I’m stuck in an elevator and someone starts belting out a song it might be my last straw

nour el sabbagh

since it was mentioned in the recent ben podcast that he would be optimistic and not stress out and would just chill and will be happy to do what you need. how has no one mentioned that yet!!

nour el sabbagh

honestly we’re getting out at some point, I don’t want someone to try and find a way to get out for an hour. live in the moment and make it an experience you can look back on and laugh😭 I don’t know if donelley/luna/ Eliot would stress or feel claustrophobic which is why I didn’t choose them. If they wouldn’t freak out, then definitely them i would love to be forced to spend time with them.

nour el sabbagh

lowkey i would love to make up some wacky story with Eliot so we could distract ourselves and his acting would be funny for sure. id just tell him to act like we’re in an act😭

nour el sabbagh

also for you guys saying that you’d want someone to leave you alone and be quiet??? i would die with my own thoughts and my big mouth would not be able to hold it😭 you would hate being stuck in an elevator with me HAHAHA

nour el sabbagh

yes!!! i mentioned this in my content before i saw yours i was looking for someone who said it

Dasha

Kinney! I love witchey vibes and probably would like to talk to her about this stuff😂😂 aaaand Infamous Like Us, i adoooore this one

Reem

my fav book is lovers like us. forced proximity especially when it involves characters who have beef with e/o just makes for such an entertaining read 😭 also loved the depiction of charlie's character and how he was like a foil for moffy like!! he legit brought out a side of him that we don't see that often. I just felt like charlie made moffy seem more human and less like a superhero. idk why that man has like 39943 ppl he's beefing with but hopefully rox can rectify that and make him behave for once!! 😭

heidi0331

fave books are all the marrow ones

Arrow

I know! And so much can go wrong if you try to get out on your own. There is just no way I’m climbing my way out and risking a fall. I’d rather just hang tight with a calm optimistic person until the fire department arrives.

Rachel

Alphas is the best in the series🙌🏻

Sarah

SLU for sure. Jane is hilarious and we didn’t get enough of her, I will die on my lack of Jane soapbox, she needed another book. Or I just wanted her to have another book. But there were great group scenes in her books. She always makes me laugh out loud.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We plan on asking if we can do this. We're hoping they say yes, but right now, we're not so sure 💜

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ahh omg I LOVEEEE that you love Fire Country!! I haven't started the new season yet, but I am such a sucker for this show. I love the relationships so much too. I think it totally excels in that aspect. I'm excited to see where season two goes! ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We really haven't thought about it too much! It's totally possible we'd write a couple where the woman is older down the line, though 💜

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We definitely plan on changing the NLU Spoiler Room to a DY Spoiler Room (it's the chat room that'll likely get changed for each new release to avoid spoilers). We're soooo excited about y'all reading this book!!!! *tosses strawberry confetti every which way* xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's possible we *might* write more Donnelly POVs during that time, but we think it'll be more likely us writing his POV during the current timeline. But who knows, we could totally end up writing a bunch in beginning era! We love that Donnelly has all the inside scoop in the ballet company!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

All the Berkley print editions with extra bonus material are forever available. They're not limited editions, since they've replaced our indie paperbacks.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I would choose Moffy or Jane! As you said, Moffy would be a great person to get you out of there and keep everything calm, and I also think Jane would be similar and just fun to be around in these kinds of situations ☺️. I haven't seen the Bachelor in song long, but any slight mention of Cirque du Soleil and now I'm VERY interested to return!! Sending lots of love to you, Shi!! *hugs tight* ~ B

nour el sabbagh

i can soooo imagine Charlie being with an older woman and the parents hating it

Kelly.

Thank you so much for answering!
