I recommend the Masterworks Classics books. They are complete pieces from the standard classical repertoire, not adaptations or arrangements like in the Alfred's lesson books. If you sped quickly and easily through the Alfred's Level 1 book, I suggest you can start with a later Masterworks Classics book. Perhaps, Book 3: https://www.amazon.com/Masterwork-Classics-Level-Book-CD/dp/0739009656/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469628208&sr=8-1&keywords=masterworks+classics
Oh, and it's never too late for some Bach. Selections from Anna Magdelena's Notebook can be found easily on IMSLP, here for instance. http://imslp.org/wiki/First_Lessons_in_Bach_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)
Though if you're looking for something a bit easier to read, the Schirmer edition of this book is not expensive at all. Just a few bucks on Amazon.
The Jane Magrath Masterworks Classics series is good for compiling pieces by great composers (from Bach to Bartok and Kabalevsky) in a fairly steady progression. Also, they usually come with a CD so you can listen to the pieces in the book.
If you can play the Chopin 28/7, then [level 3] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739009656/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687462&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0739006770&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0HCK1QPEXYAVCB7ZJVZW) or [level 4] (http://www.amazon.com/Masterwork-Classics-Level-Valery-Lloyd-Watts/dp/0739007548/ref=pd_bxgy_14_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=02C9AET8VQVJFXXFBF9G) seem like a good fit.
P.S. Bach wrote at least 48 preludes, so it's helpful to mention which specific prelude of his you've played if you want more detailed advice.
From a classical perspective, you should be able to start with Masterwork Classics level 3 or Keith Snell's Piano Repertoire series (Baroque/Classical, Romantic, Etudes) level 2. Nothing's stopping you from trying out the other books in the All-In-One series even if they're not as highly reviewed.
