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.

Definitely Margo Durrell from 'My Family and Other Animals' by Gerald Durrell. We studied it at school for our set book for English 'O level' back in the day ...and seeing 'The Durrells' on TV recently just confirmed my opinion that Margo is quite unique!
