Macro is a fucking disaster and I have no idea - maybe /u/Integralds does but my impression was there was a huge gulf between intermediate macro books and advanced macro books.
For micro, I think the best bridge textbook is the "easiest" advanced textbook - Jehle & Reny.
It's pretty important if you're trying to get a leg up on grad school stuff that when you go through even Jehle & Reny you make sure you can follow their proofs completely - and if you can't, stop there and go figure out what math you need to figure out to follow them.
[edit] Although you can probably get away with skipping the General Equilibrium sections unless you're actually interested in a dead area of micro.
Depending on the flavor of macro, this could be a very non-macro question. If you were comfortable reading Debreu, I would tackle a good graduate micro text, such as Jehle Reny. It is shorter and better explained than Mas-Colell. But if you liked Debreu, then you are probalby ready for Mas-Colell. Reading the footnotes in either is a good indication of newer developments.
I found the book I was using and they make a similar comment. I appreciate the author's candor in the link you provided.
Laffont and Martimort have a book that is probably a good fit. http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7311.html
It is more geared towards walking you through some more common models. I remember the math being relatively light and explained fairly pedantically.
Alternatively, I am working through one by Vohra right now that it quite good but pretty mathematically dense.

I also remember the mechanism design chapters in Reny and Jehle's textbook were well presented too.

and Reny, yes
