ooo, the whatevering with dragons books, those were fun. And I want to read the looking glass wars, but my library only has it as a book on tape. *grumble*. Also wicked... *checks*... hey, they do have that one! I'll have to get it sometime.
Now suggestions. Have you read anything by Tamora Pierce? <3. I'd say read the series in order, but if you don't care about that as much as I do and don't want to get all of them, the Immortals quartet and the Trickster books are the best in my opinion. I've only read a little bit of Mercedes Lackey so far, but from what I have read, also <3. The Last Herald-Mage books were amazing. Enough that I was up all night reading them :P
The Claidi Journals, by Tanith Lee A matter of profit, by Hilari Bell(and some of her other books, although this one I think is the best, and then songs of power) The Acorna series, by Anne McCaffrey(w/ others) These ones I read a while ago, so I'm not sure how kiddish they may or may not be, but I definitely liked them when I read them, enough to reread them later.

Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, and Terry Pratchett should all be at the top of the consideration list. I just forgot ó_ò . Actually, some of them should be on the to buy list.
Tamora Pierce - I do care about reading series in order, which is part of the reason I haven't looked into the author. I've been too lazy 'till now to sort out the multiple series all being in the same place, I've not been sure where to start. Maybe I'll be able to find box sets or something. I like box sets.
Mercedes Lackey - Same as Tamora Pierce, only I've now made sense of Tamora Pierce. I suppose I'll just try to start at the beginning and go through. I really like box sets.
Terry Pratchett - I've always been meaning to get, again, I just need to start somewhere. I'll have to make a list of all these series when I get to go book shopping again (< 2 weeks, big store in Regina :D ).
Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, and Terry Pratchett moved onto the contemplation list, though I'll likely get something (box set) from one of them whenever that wedding is.
I'm moving Seán Cullen onto the to buy list after reading a few reviews and excerpts. I've been a bit of a fan of him as a comedian, and the books look quite funny.

Tortall Books- Song of the Lioness quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, Woman Who Rides Like a Man, Lioness Rampant) Immortals quartet (Wild Magic, Wolf Speaker, Emperor Mage, The Realms of the Gods) Protector of the Small quartet (First Test, Page, Squire, Lady Knight) Trickster books (Trickster's Choice, Trickster's Queen) Terrier is the first book in a new Trilogy (Provost's Dog, I think it's called?), but it's the only one out so far and hasn't come out in paperback yet(October, I think?)
Circle Books- Circle of Magic quartet (Sandry's Book, Tris's Book, Daja's Book, Briar's Book) Circle Opens quartet (Magic Steps, Street Magic, Cold Fire, Shatterglass) The Will of the Empress
:)
Mercedes Lackey- still not too sure on them all myself :P Heralds of Valdemar (Arrows of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, Arrow's Fall) are definitely first, and I read The Last Herald-Mage (Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise, Magic's Price) next, although looking at publication dates it looks like Vows and Honor (The Oathbound, Oathbreakers, Oathblood) are actually between them.
