Most Anticipated Books for Fall

Today the BookPage blog has a listing of their 25 most anticipated books for fall. As I scanned the list, my attention was caught by a few books:

"The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian

A pilot who has to make an emergency landing on water (think Sully) survives the crash. 39 of the 47 other people on board do not. Haunted by the past, he moves with his wife and two daughters to a rambling Victorian house in Vermont, where the haunting becomes literal. Look for shades of The Shining."

Honestly, they had me at "shades of the Shining."

"Zone One by Colson Whitehead

In the wake of the plague, Mark Spitz is working to clear Manhattan of the infected ones—though the only zombies left in the area are not the dangerous kind but the "malfunctioning" sort who are basically catatonic and mourning their former lives. Then it all starts to go wrong."

My husband is a zombie freak, so I bet he'd enjoy this one–and I like the different spin that seems to be used with zombies.

And Nora Roberts has a book on the list–Nora has been a favorite of mine for years:

"The Next Always by Nora Roberts

Perennial bestseller Nora Roberts launches the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy with The Next Always. This series is especially intriguing because it is inspired by the real Inn BoonsBoro, which Roberts bought and restored in 2007."

Of course, I do think the list could use with a bit more romance. I know there are dozens of books that I'm looking forward to reading this fall, including new books from Elisabeth Naughton, Christine Feehan, Christie Reece,  and Maggie Shayne.  What books are on your most anticipated list?  (I'm about to make me a full list now–I have a feeling I'm gonna want A LOT of books.)
