Dean Koontz's The Taking debuts on 4 lists this week, in the top 10 at New York Times, Washington Post, and Publishers Weekly.
The long-awaited sixth volume in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, Song of Susannah (Donald M. Grant/Scribner), sits at #1 on Amazon's Top 100 Sellers today, the day it's due in stores. The previous, fifth volume also ranks on Amazon's list, as does volume seven, to be published in September.
Karen Joy Fowler's non-SF The Jane Austen Book Club (though it does involve a World Fantasy Con and a couple books by Ursula K. Le Guin) is still doing very well, ranking on every US list compiled this week.
Also debuting is Newt Gingrich & William R. Forstchen's Grant Comes East (St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne), the second book in their alternate history Civil War series, ranking #28 on Amazon's list, which has the 2003 first volume Gettysburg returning to the list at #88.
The trade paperback of Audrey Niffenegger's crossover time travel novel The Time Traveler's Wife (Harvest) debuts on 4 lists this week; it's been on Amazon's list for 2 weeks already.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
This cell color indicates rankings of books based on pre-publication sales |
[Italics and brackets, and/or this cell color, indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats, and BookScan, which combines hardcovers and paperbacks within lists for fiction, nonfiction, and children's. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
