I really like to read books that belong to a series. I have read all of the Twilight books and really like that kind of book. Any advice what I should read next?

Depends on what kind of level you want.

Intellectual: In Cold Blood by truman Capote about a Kansas murder, and it's from the perspective of the killers themselves. It's clever, it made triggered quite an emotional response in me when the two murderers are caught and excecuted as cleverly Capote turns you around to understand them as people, not as killers.
(Don't worry I didn't give away the story it's based on a rue story so you know they murder thwem and get excecuted before you read it).

Easy/fun: It's A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. He wrote the book About A Boy that was tuned into afilm with Hugh Grant.
It's a pretty humerous book about 4 suicidal individuals (yes I know pretty depressing by the osunds of it) but it's not at all.

Hope that helped.

Peace.

Anything and everything by Tamora Pierce. She's an amazing fiction writer, and still writing. Also, David (and Leigh) Eddings.

I would recommend reading "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket.
Or the famous "Harry Potter" series by J.K Rowling
or if you like funny series you can always read "Diary of a Wimpy kid"
But if you like mysteries: "Chasing Vermeer, The wright Three, and, The Calder Game." (these are the same series only with different names.)
I would also recommend "The Spiderwick Chronicles"...

HAPPY READING!!! : )

I'm so sorry you had to experience Twilight. If you're looking for a good book series to read, try the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix, Narnia by C.S. Lewis. The Mortal Instruments series (can't remember author) and His Dark Materials Trilogy (can't remember author). All excellent series.
