Ever since he pushed her out of the way of a car, Camelia can't help but be drawn to Ben. With all the rumours going around that Ben was somehow responsible for his ex-girlfriend's death, Camelia's friends warn her away from him, saying he's dangerous. Ben tells her she's in danger too, but not from him. Something is certainly going on, but how can Camelia prepare herself if she doesn't know who to trust?
Book #37 -- Stephen Alter, The Phantom Isles
, 210 pages.
When three friends recite a passage from an old book in the library said to conjure up ghosts, they don't really expect it to work. And at first it seems like nothing happens. But the next morning the librarian notices something different about some of her books - they have images in them where none were before. Images of faces - that move.
Book #38 -- Daniel Kehlmann, Me and Kaminski (Vintage)
, 195 pages.
Art critic and biographer Sebastian Zollner travels to a remote village to interview reclusive painter Manuel Kaminski, rumored to be not long for this world. Zollner hopes a biography published in the immediate aftermath of the old man's death will bolster his flagging career. The mystery of the old man's past, however, is much more complicated than Zollner ever expected.
