I'll second Hermea. And the Tales line might be a good way to flesh out some of the history of the world; maybe instead of setting the book in modern times, we get to actually read the stories of things like the war between Geb and Nex, or Baba Yaga, or ancient Osirion, or the Whispering Tyrant's reign in Ustalav.
Maybe a novel with more First World elements, dealing with the Fey?
Also, Galt. The online stories featuring Norret have been my favorite so far.

In the Inner Sea I would love more Andoran, Numeria, and the River Kingdoms (Brevoy as well).
I would also REALLY like to see something in Arcadia. I'm Native American in addition to (mostly) Irish and English. The Anglo/Celtic side of my ancestry is done to death in every fantasy setting ever, I think Arcadia is a perfect place to tap into some of the really excellent Native American mythology, and the several colonies already in existence there make an excellent tie in to the more familiar Inner Sea setting.
EDIT: I just finished my epub of City of the Fallen sky last night. Hope to get a longer review in, but it is currently tied with Plague of Shadows for my favorite.
I should also add that I will devour anything Dave Gross writes for Pathfinder. Seriously, publish Varian Jegarre's collected grocery lists, with a little commentary from Radovan, and I'll read it.

I would love to see a story set in Quain. I love Tian Xia, and I think the Land of a Thousand Heroes is both fun and unexplored.
You're in luck! Master of Devils is all about Quain/Tian Xia, and it's already out! :D

The top 2 novels I most want to see are:
A Kaer Maga novel (with Salim?) written by James Sutter.
A Nex or Absalom novel written by Erik Mona.
Other than those, maybe something set in Riddleport, Minkai, or the Shackles.
Regardless, I'm happy to follow where the novels take me. I certainly have my favorites among the line, but I'm happy to say that I haven't been disappointed by any of them yet (read them all, and just started Fallen Sky).

I would like to see you go to a magical land called Kindle in the great Amazon forest. I've heard tales that the wizards there are able to use a single scroll to store all their spells, freeing space in their towers for ant farms and the like.
Me too! The only thing holding us back from Kindle at this point is an overly restrictive contract. We're all hoping that they'll loosen up as time goes on, but for now it's a waiting game...

Ok, here is my only beef with the novels, of which I have read most. This is a problem shared by other game-related licenses in general, and that is they never capture the "feel" of a party of characters adventuring together. It's usually one or two characters doing all the adventuring. To me the books should at least convey the gist of the overall brand.
Don't get me wrong, I like the books but I would like to see a book that captures the spirit of the game itself.

This is one of the main reasons that Plague of Shadows is one of my favorites in the line (second only to Death's Heretic). I thought Jones did a fantastic job of capturing that sort of party dynamic with not only 1, but 2 groups within the same novel.
Looking forward to more from him as well (didn't mention it in my previous post because we already have confirmation that he's working on the next book).

Azlant
Absalom
Eox
Castrovel or Akiton (unless it means repeating Burroughs or Campbell or others...)
Five King's Mountains
Fog's Peaks
World's Edge
An Absalom orphanage
in a Library in Taldor (with a candlestick)
A valley in Osirion
A hot springs in Mwangi... (knowing the world as we do the location is really not as important as the characters. :)

Queen of Thorns should definitely solve that problem for you, and Blood of the City as well. Both of those are very much "party-based" stories.

I've had a hard time getting a real grasp of thuvia so omething set there would be cool. also something on nex and geb would be awesome
Death's Heretic takes place in Thuvia, and it's already available.
