Other than Harry Potter...it would have to be the Inheritance Triology by Chris Paolini, the Dark Jewel Trilogy by Anne Bishop, and the Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice. I really think a lot more people should read the Dark Jewel Trilogy; it's gothic beauty in my opinion.

Harry Potter, of course
The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane
Circle of Magic by Tamora Pierce
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

And there's another series I read in seventh grade that I absolutely CAN'T FIND... The titles have 'bronze', silver', and possibly another one, respectively... and there's something about glass... I dunno. I remember liking it, though.

Other than the HP series, it's have to be the Shannara series, Redwall series, Inheritance Trilogy, Chronicles of Narnia, and Castaways of a Flying Dutchman (which I hope the Brian Jacques writes more of).

Jedi Apprentice. I also like the Anakin Skywalker Journal version. Maybe it's because I love ACTION! That's just me. Harry Potter came close, though.

ow, I have so many.
Ok, let's take this from an end:
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce (Can't remember the titles in english, sorry), The Narnia series, Jedi apprentice (but not the rest of the Star Wars books), Artemis Fowl, 'Erik Menneskesøn' ('Eric son of Man' a trillogy about a boy being transported to the wold of the norse Gods), 'Slaget i Caïssa' ('The battle in Caïssa' a trillogy about a boy being transported into a chessgame as one of the pieces, now he and the other white pieces must fight the black pieces, though this is not a usual game of chess, this is deadly reality for the pieces. If the white side wins Good will be allowed to rule the world until next time, if the black side wins Evil will be allowed to rule. But when Good and Evil play chess, who makes the rules?)

I can't think of any other series I'm in love with right now, though there is most likely more.
By the way, the last two titles are danish books that are not transelated, so the titles in the brackets are my own transelations.

Before the fifth Harry Potter book came out, I would have said the Harry Potter series. But because of the long waiting time between books, I needed an alternative, which lead me to fanfiction, thusly ruining my enjoyment of the series. I read it once through, then don't read it again until the next book comes out.

So, my new favourite series is the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, by Laurell K. Hamilton. Seriously, anyone who can stomach graphic violence will probably like reading these. Also, anyone who likes the idea of vampirism, lycanthropes, and necromancers will love these.

Also, my family used to have a whole room dedicated to books in my old house, and when we had to move, you should have seen how many boxes were full of books! The room looks so bare now!

Ow, many many...let's see, I'm a HUGE fan of LotR (lost track of how often I've read it /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ). Another series I like very much is the Elenium/Tamuli by David Eddings.
I also like the Avalon-Trilogy by Marion Zimmer-Bradley and The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. There's also a series called The Dark is Rising which I read when I was 10 or so, and I still enjoy it.

My favorite Book Series is Harry Potter (duh!) and the Clique Series by Lisi Harrison. The Clique is about 7th grade girls who are very rich and snobby. It is so interesting and well written! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I also love the Babysitter's Club by Ann M. Martin. I have a ton of books from that series! In case any of y'all don't know what the Babysitter's Club is about, it's about this club with 8 (?) girls who babysit. Well the whole book isn't centered around that, there are some other things that have to do with the plot. xD Both book series are extremely good and I recommend both of them!

"Princess Diaries" is my most favorite book series. I laughed, cried, felt angry, felt sad; when I read all the series.

When I was younger I loved the Nancy Drew books. They are classics. But now my favourite series are Harry Potter and 2 quartets by Tamora Pierce - The Lionesse Quartet and The Immortals.
