I like all books really, but I'm looking for more books like The princess diaries series by Meg Cabot or The sisterhood of the traveling pants series by Ann Brashares. Any more similar types of books you know of for older readers?

What' up with ALL the thumbs down. This is a great list for the summer reader - with some great authors from this genre. Spells & Sleeping Bags by Sarah Mlynowski is one of my sister's favorites! Also the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson is more Young Adult than Chick Lit but I have heard it is excellent! Everyone enjoy your summer reading. :-)

Look for books by Catherine Clark (Truth or Dairy is the first)
The Georgia Nicolson books by Louise Rennison (beginning with Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging)
Simon Pulse Romantic Comedies (a series by different authors -- try Royally Jacked, Spin Control, and Do-Over by Niki Burnham, to start -- they are a lot like Princess Diaires)
Megan McCaffrey's books beginning with Sloppy Firsts
Cathy Hopkins' Mates, Dates series
Jacqueline Wilson's Girls Quartet: Girls in Love, Girls Under Pressure, Girls Out Late, Girls in Tears

I can highly suggest the Xanth Series by Piers Anthony. It is science fiction/fantasy. Look it up on Amazon and read some exerpts. I read them all when I was in my teens and twenties, and I still have them and will re-read from time to time. He also has other series you can look up, The Incarnations Series is a little "older", maybe twenties and thirties, but still very good.

It's historical fiction, but it's really good, not dry at all - "North By Night" by Sherryl Jordan (still one of my favorites!)
One of my friends LOVES the series you're talking about, and she's also a huge fan of Marian Keyes and Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum series). They're a bit more adult - don't share them with your mom or she might be shocked ;) - but good!!
Happy reading :)

I like the 'Tomorrow when the war began' series. John Marsden. He writes a lot of great fiction for teens.
