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.

Rose Trevelyan. From the 'Rose Trevelyan' series of detective books written by Janie Bolitho. Set in Cornwall and you can imagine being there as her writing is so descriptive.

Miss Marple, as my first £1 book token when aged 11 bought eight Agatha Christie paperbacks! Who wouldn't wish to be able to meet her in real life.
