I'm looking for a book series similar to Shopaholic (I know there won't ever be one as good) and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations.
I want something fun and romantic, but nothing that is too over-the-top and cheesy. If anyone has read Something Borrowed and Something Blue by Emily Giffin, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Sophie Kinsella Can You Keep A Secret is good. Not a series but definitely a good book. It would have made a beter movie than Shopaholic.
I wonder if they will make a second Shopaholic movie - since there were a few more books (even though the movie was a bit of book 1 and book 2).
I've read that too - I've read all of Sophie Kinsella's books.
But thanks though!

Sophie Kinsella's sister, Gemma Townley, is also a writer and a is doing a series: The Importance of Being Married and A Wild Affair. I do believe the next book comes out next year. Although I would recommend all of Gemma's books-not just the series. My favorites are "When in Rome" and "Little White Lies"
There's the Little Lady Agency series by Hester Browne. It's set in London and it's about a girl who sets up an agency where she pretends to be the perfect date to men and helps them out with their lives. I think the stories are really entertaining and Hester Browne has a Sophie Kinsella-esque writing quality. There have been three books in the series:
-The Little Lady Agency
-The Little Lady Agency in the Big Apple
-The Little Lady Agency and the Prince.
Also there's a series by Mindy Klasky about a woman who accidently recites a spell from a book of spells and then has to find her way in learning how to harness her powers as a witch. I think Jane Madison is a great character and the books are both funny and romantic. The books in this series are:
-Girls Guide to Witchcraft
-Sorcery and the Single Girl
-Magic and the Modern Girl.
There's the series by Kyra Davis which are always page turners. The Sophie Katz series are great mystery/chick-lit books. The series is:
-Sex, Murder, and a Double Latte
-Passion, Betrayal, and Killer Highlights
-Obsession, Deceit, and Really Dark Chocolate
-Lust, Loathing, and a Little Lip Gloss
And of course any of Meg Cabot's series for adults are great (except I didn't care so much for the Queen of Babble series). I really liked her Heather Wells series and the ones that are written entirely in email format.
-"Tell our story Christian"
-"I'm flying high defying gravity"
-"Moo with me"
Thanks for the recommendations! I definitely trust anyone who loves Moulin Rouge! These all seem like really great books.
