I have always been a big fan of the Choose Your Own Adventure series but have only recently realized that there are many other gamebooks of the choose your path variety beyond the Choose Your Own Adventure series and I'd love to read them. What are some of the other series or books of this format out there?

J H (Herbie) Brennan was one of the pioneers of the genre in the 1980s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of...
as an example
You might want to take a look at this: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/choo...And I remember a series call "Pick a Path." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick-a-Path
And here's a list of Choose Your Own Adventures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

That's an interesting question! I've wanted to read a choose-your-path/adventure book.
I've seen Meanwhile by Jason Shiga which is a visual twist on choose-your-path. It's a mostly wordless, maze-like graphic novel.
Here are a few Listopia lists:

Which genre are you interested in?Romeo and/or Juliet: A Chooseable-Path Adventure is another wild and silly gamebook, by the author of the Hamlet one. It was a little too much for me.
