That is my situation too, I have learned that I need to reserve books in a series with the future in mind since the popular ones have such long waiting lists. I will guess when a book is going to be available based on # of copies and # on the list and then reserve the next one in the series so that it should be available shortly after the first one, even if I am not sure I will want to continue, I can always cancel my hold if I don't care for the series or want a break.

Sorry to hear that.
I hope you are able to find something again quickly!
