Nora roberts, the circle trilogy, she has a bunch more, but i like the circle because it's hard to know what'll happen next.

I notice you have read Tangerine. I suggest reading other books by that author Edward Bloor. Some peronal favorites include Crusader, Story Time, and London Calling. Another great author is Caroline B. Cooney she wrote the Face on the Milk Carton series and Code Orange which is a very interesting book. Another great series is the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud (I think it's him anyway).
Best of Luck!!

I really can't believe no one has suggested D.J. MacHale's "Pendragon" series. Wicked awesome plot. Seems kind of juvenile the first couple books, but as you progress, you realize the subtle involvements and articulacy of the story. Very good read if you find yourself with a large sum of time on your hands.
Also, Isaac Asimov did a lot more than just I, Robot. Look into the rest.
My overall suggestion, above all, would be "The Orphans Tales", a fresh, new look at fantasy, getting back to the basic of constructing an entire world filled with lore and myth to its brim, leaving a thirst for more. All told in the style of "Arabian Nights", with stories intertwining into each other until you forget who is actually narrating the story. Amazing read. Hard to get a hold of, but if you can by any means, I'll bet money on that anthology.

By the sounds of it, you have the same taste in books as my brother. My suggestion would be the Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix. His series are pretty good. My favorite is the Sabriel Series... I've read them a few times over now.
Keys to the Kingdom is hard to explain... but basically it's about this boy who finds himself involved with a plot from another world. This world is basically the pillar of all other worlds and it's parts are ruled by the various days of the week. Arthur must get all of the keys from these rulers to put his world right and to free 'The Will' so that he can have a normal life again. It's pretty interesting... I like the personalities of the characters.
Sabriel is just marvelous! It's about a girl who inherits her father's title and trade, which just so happens to be necromancy. It's a good kind of necromancy however... since someone needs to put the dead to rest after bad-a** evil necromancers decide to screw with the world. She winds up getting herself involved in a plot that threatens to ruin the country while she's trying to save her father. It's a good story.

I second Garth Nix's books (though I found them way better on tape), Crusader (one of my favorites!) and Pendragon, though I didn't like the last book.
One of my favorite fantasy authors is Tamora Pierce. She writes books about female heroines in a medieval setting mostly in a land called Tortall. I'd only suggest these if you're a girl, though. Boys might enjoy them (what do I know?) but they're definitely geared towards girls.
