If you're after ideas for what to read this summer, look no further than our round-up of the best summer reads for 2019.

One very lucky person can win all the books featured on the page - worth over £600.

To enter, simply tell us your favourite female character from a book (old or new and from any genre).

A winner will be drawn at random at midday on Monday 15 July. Usual terms and conditions apply. Note that because of the size and weight of the prize box, we are only able to deliver to mainland UK addresses.

Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables. I grew up thinking what a totally romantic character she was!

I like Kinsey Millhone from the Sue Grafton ABC detective books. She is a character that really made me care what was happening with her, by the last book it felt like someone you have known for years and were comfortable with

I love Molly Weasley from Harry Potter. She is wacky, wise, witty, kind, courageous and just a little bit weird. Everyone's favourite Mum!
