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.

Nancy Drew - as a child I was always fascinated by Nancy Drew and wanted to be her! I love how she was physically strong and fiercely intelligent which meant she was a superbly clever sleuth. She was a great female inspiration growing up, when most stories seemed to be about men being the heroes
