*obligatory Emily of New Moon plug, complete with userpic*
It's not that I don't like Anne, I do, but Emily is definitely good for when Anne is just too chipper to deal with. Pretty much the same genre, though, of YA-coming-of-age story -- just a touch darker and a lot more introspective.
The Blue Castle and A Tangled Web, on the other hand, were LMM's two forays into "adult" fiction. Both are good, but since she had something of a rep as a children's author by the time she published them, they don't get nearly as much attention as they deserve.
