*Update 8/27/2016: Thank you to @apeekintothepantry on Instagram for confirming that Valerie Tripp said Felicity was 100% coming back at her book signing in New Paltz, New York earlier this year!*
Scoop Fairy Jenny on AGC found some fantastic news yesterday and kindly gave us permission to share it! It seems like there are even more new books to look forward to early next year! There are 3 new Beforever Mysteries (for Melody, Maryellen, and Julie), 3 new WellieWishers stories, and possibly the most unexpected of all, a potential reprinting of the currently archived Felicity's books in the new Beforever 2 book + Journey book format! I've added all of these books to the Master List of Leaked AG Releases! ^_^
I'm always stoked for new books, and I love 3 completely new mysteries are coming out. I'm wondering if Felicity will come out of the archive briefly and a part of me would be thrilled to bits if that happened, as long as she doesn't overstay her time (a little like how I feel Samantha is now). XD
