My choice this week is:

A Certain Slant of Light (A Certain Slant of Light #1)

by Laura Whitcomb

In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her. They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now. And Helen—terrified, but intrigued—is drawn to him. The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge. But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.

I've read this book a loooong while ago, but I remember how pleasantly surprised and satisfied I was with it. I think maybe it's time for a re-read. ;) Oh, and the cover is really beautiful, too. In a slightly creepy way. LOL.

Here's one of my favorite quotes:

“Books are boring," James said as he wrote. 
"They line the walls like a thousand leather doorways to be opened into worlds unknown," I offered.” 

Do you have any good recommendations?
