I just finished reading the Shopaholic series and I really enjoyed reading a series of books with the same characters. Could you recommend any more series of books? preferablly ones that are chic books and are funny.
please dont say lord of the rings... I'm not into that kind of reading.

I'd recommend Marian Keyes. She has the Walsh sisters and the first book is titled Watermelon. I really enjoyed it. She's an Irish author and most of the books take place there.
Oh, and Meg Cabot. She did the Princess Diaries, but she has books for "older" readers. The books are loosely related, but can be read by themselves. A few titles are "Boy Meets Girl", "Every Boy's Got One", "The Guy Next Door". The stories take place via email. Very quick reads.
Hope this helps. :)

Series Books
Louise Rennison-Georgia Nicolson Series

and more of these to come :)
Uglies trilogy is a good series, it's a futuristic novel about a society gone "pretty" its main characters are teens ranging from 15-17...some are in party mode...and some are more serious. But they're good books...
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is the first in a series. The second book is coming out this fall. It's another YA choice, and it features Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Bella's your typical teenager--friendly, smart, clumsy--and Edward is not your typical love interest--he's a vampire! Even if you have absolutely no interest in reading a "vampire" book...or if you think you would hate any book with a "vampire" in it...you should still give this book a try. I had no previous experience with vampire books....and when it was recommended to me I protested strongly...I just KNEW that I couldn't possibly love any book like that...and then I became the book's biggest fan. :)

Try
The Discworld Series by Terry Pratchet

or if not that go for the classics like the

Katherine Valentine's Dorsetville series
Jan karon's Mitford Series
The Miss Julia books by Ann B Ross
The Ladies of Covington by Joan Medlicott
Carole Nelson Douglas's Midnight Louie series

Harry Potter
Chronicles of Narnia
Artemis Fowl
King Fortis the Brave is another great one. It's only one book right now, but it's supposed to be the first in a series. It has some really strong female characters and I'm waiting anxiously for the next installment

Chick Lit? Let's see...
Definitely Marian Keyes (her books are fantastic, similar to Sophie Kinsella, very humorous but a little more conflict). She wrote a series of novels about the Walsh sisters. They are as follows (in order): Watermelon, Rachel's Holiday, Angels and Anybody Out There.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips has a few books that have recurring characters. Beginning with It Had to Be You featuring Phoebe Sommerville. This Heart of Mine is the story of her sister, Molly. Match Me If You Can is the story of one of their friends. She has a new book coming out in February entitled Natural Born Charmer which is also related to those.
Emily Giffin has Something Borrowed, the tale of Rachel, a goody-two-shoes who somehow ends up sleeping with her best friend's fiance. Something Blue is the continuing story told from the point of view of Darcy, the best friend. Giffin's a great author and provides a lot of laughs (especially in Something Borrowed).

What about Harry Potter? There's a whoppin 7 books, isn't there? And truthfully, my first thought was Lord of the Rings. Sorry! Ummm... I'm afraid I'm not familiar with chic books. Uh...
Have you read Pearl Buck's books? She has a few series, I think. I... think.

Sue Grafton, and her series of murder mysteries featuring single female Private Investigator:
Elizabeth Peters, writes novels featuring Amelia Peabody in an amusing, spoof-filled light way. they are pure delight!
James Michener, and wow I should not have to say more. Especially The Source....my personal favorite
and then there is the author of "Death by Chocolate" and "The Cereal Murders"...sorry, can't remember her name.
I don't know if these are "chic" enough for you, but they're well worth the reading.
Literarily Yours (grin!)

James Patterson has several series books. The Women's murder club is a good one - the books all have a number in them, like First to Die and Second Chance. The Alex Cross novels are also very good. They are all named from nursery rhymes. He just started a series about geneticly engineered bird children, too. Looks to be very good.
