Well a really good series I've gotten into is the 1-800-Where-R-U by Meg Cabot. it sounds similiar to what you seem to be reading. Another great book is Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Stolarz, which also has a sequel called White is for Magic. They are both entertaining. If you like in-depth books you might also try reading a few classics. Hope youfind something to your liking.

Maybe you could start getting into the classics. I read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and that really got me into both American and British literature. I know when you hear literature you'll think it's boring and that you read it for school and not for fun, but I personally think that many are genuinely good stories that aren't given a chance because of school. Try A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Heminway, or Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

i'm assuming you mean young adult series so here are some that i used to read:
-the mediator (jenny carroll)
-1-800-where-are-you (jenny carroll)
-fearless (francine pascal)
-fingerprints (metz)
-sweep (kate tiernan)
-sevens (wallens)

When I was younger, I liked books like Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I also liked Nancy Drew by Carole Keene. I loved Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling. You might also check out the King Arthur series by Mary Stewart (the Crystal Cave and the like). Ask your librarian or look at some stuff from amazon.com. If you look at some of the books you have already read, they give you some examples of what other people may have enjoyed.

I'm not real big on series books.I go more for a certain author and read those books. Try books by Sarah Dessen.Each one she wrote was good.Also go to your local library and go searching there.That way no money spent and you still get to read great books
]
You should go to a big book store and just search the isles. Books A Million is great and the stores are comforting. They have chairs and couches for you to sit and read/skim. They have a HUGE selection of books and about any book you might need. Some also have coffee shops so you can even get drinks or maybe even snacks! They have isles of every genre of book you can think of. Its great!

Read the Dark Tower series by Steven King. It's nothing like any of the horror he writes. It's a fantasy series. He first started to write it when Lord of the Rings first came out back in the seventies or so. He wanted to write a great fantasy trilogy, much like it. In the fifth book, which just came out last year, theres some stuff that ties it with Harry Potter. The seventh, and last book comes out in September, so start reading the other six now.
It's seriously the greatest story ever and hasn't gotten the publicity it has deserved.
Read it!! please?
Also read Lord of the Rings, starting with The Hobbit, if you haven't already.

Yay! A bookworms favorite question!
Inn young adult, which seems to be a favorite with you, I would suggest:
Eragon - Don't remember the author.
This is a fantasy story about a boy called Eragon and a dragon. He has magical powers, and goes on a quest to stop a power hungry king. He finds an underground city and a beautiful elf, among other things.
Everything by Tamora Pierce, particularly the Song of the Lioness series. They're set in the land of Tortall, and Song of the Lioness starts with the book "Alanna: The first adventure." They are about a girl who dresses up as a boy so she can be a knight. There's magic and theives and romance later on. Fun stuff! ;-) There are also other series by the same author set in the same place. The ones about Daine, a girl who talks to animals, are quite good.
Philip Pullman's His Dark Material's series. The first is "The Golden Compass," but it is called "The Northern Lights" in the UK. The first book is set in an alternate universe where things are just a bit more old fashioned, people have daemons, and there are witches and intelligent bears. The second book takes place in two or three different universes, and there is a lot of travel between them. The third book takes place across MANY universes. These books are excellent in everyway, but if you are easily offended, they have quite a bit of stuff that is very anti-established religion, Christianity and Catholocism in particular.
Georgia Nicholson books (I think the first one is "On the Bright side, I'm now the girlfriend of a sex god") are the diaries of a 15 year old Georgia Nicholson, a british girl who has much trouble with romance.
If you're interested in more adult books, I would recommend "Bridget Jones' Diary" by Helen Fielding, and the sequel, "The Edge of Reason." It's the diary of a british woman, Bridget, and her mishaps with members of the opoposite sex. So basically the same as Georgia Nicholoson only a bit funnier and with a bit more adult content. (Also, the movie for the first book is great!)
"The Ear, The Eye, and the Arm" by Nancy Farmer, and her other book, "A Girl named Disaster" are also very good. They're both set in Africa, one about two hundred years into the future, and the other either now or in the recent past.
Meg Cabot's other series of books, The Mediator books, are also very good. She wrote the first bunch under the name Jenny Carroll, so when looking for the Mediator books, look under that name. They're about a sixteen year old girl who can talk to ghosts, and quite amusing. The first book in the series is called Shadowland.
Patricia C Wrede is a GREAT author. She has a book of short stories called "Book of Enchantments" and she wrote the Enchanted Forest series of four books. They are a sort of fairy tale spoof. The first one, "Dealing with Dragons," is about a princess called Cimorene who runs away from home to escape a marriage, and volunteers to clean house for a dragon. She soon gets tangled up in dealing with wizards and a stone prince.
If you like Louisa May Alcott, you might like E Nesbit. Her books could be a bit young for you, because I read them when I was quite a bit younger, but I was one of those insane children who read waaaaaaaay ahead of my level.
This is becoming insanely long, I'll wrap it up soon.
Crusader, by Edward Bloor, contemporary fiction about a girl whose mother died. She works in an arcade, with her father who doesn't really care. The plot is very hard to explain, but it's a great book, and very difficult to put down.
Mary, Bloody Mary, historical fiction about queen Mary of England, by Carolyn Meyer. The same author also wrote a book about Queen Elizabeth and about Anne Bolyne. I would recommend both of them.
Old Magic, by Marianne Curley. Romance and medieval time travel, woo hoo!
Heh . . . okay, I'll stop now . . .

If you like the princess diary books, read the mediator series. Jenny Carroll is Meg Cabot's pen name. They're good. =)
If you like pure fantasy, read The Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce, and The Immortals, and Protector of the small, all by her. She's a good author. Lol
