I love, if you can still find them, the Animorphs series which I always recommend to Hunger Games fan. It is a 50+ book series about 6 middle schoolers who get the power to turn into any animal and have to fight body-snatching aliens who crawl into your ear and into your brain. It is creepy as heck because they literally think EVERY PERSON is an alien. It is so 90’s, which is fun now. The main girl is like Katniss- fierce, protective, and gets kind of dark–her love interest is sweet like Peeta.

If you are into Arthurian legends then there’s the Camulod Chronicles by Jack Whyte. The first book is Skystone. The series is pre-Excalibur and pre-Camelot.

Well, for the YA fantasy bunch– Harry Potter, of course– Back in the bodice ripper days, I enjoyed the Roselynde Chronicles by Roberta Gellis (Much better than most of that sort) Then for the Pulitzer or History lovers– “The Awakening Land” (The Trees, The Field and the Town by Conrad Richter. For just an awesome book “These is My Words, by Nancy E Turner (written in diary form–that book is of my favorites ever and contains one of the great romances) and it’s sequels Sarah’s Quilt and Star Garden–also historical.. “Lonesome Dove” stands alone, but the other books that go with it aren’t bad..(“Lonesome Dove” is just the best of the best, and I love Gus)

In the fantasy (dystopian) genre, read Lois Lowry’s books: The Giver, Gathering Blue, Son. Not really a series as much as companion novels.
And for fun, Harry Kemelman’s “Rabbi” books. It’s a mystery series from the 1970s featuring sleuth Rabbi David Small, and includes Monday the Rabbi Took Off, Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red, etc.

I originally read this series a very long time ago, but have actually reread it a few times since, when I’m in the mood for some fantasy. In particular, I really enjoyed the play of good vs evil and all the shades in between, the somewhat forbidden romance (or at least ill-advised), and the conflict between the brothers. And it’s always interesting when you find yourself rooting for the “bad guy.”
