| I've started The Accidental by Ali Smith, a 1001 read. A bit odd so far but I've not read much yet so I'll hold back on judgement! |

Is this one as good as The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Wonderlake? I really enjoyed that one and am looking forward to creating shelf space so I can treat myself to this one too! |

I've not finished it yet, but would recommend based on what I've read
Actually, this was the first book in ages that I went & rushed out to buy! I'm about 2/3rds thru, and frustratingly Salander has gone to ground! (I don't think this is a spoiler - it says as much on the blurb.) I keep on reading waiting for her to reappear - and find out her version of events

I'm struggling a bit with The Return, it's ok but very slow.
So I might be tempted to go with my Agatha Christie as it's Agatha Christie week this week, which is 4.50 from Paddington
