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.

Margo from My Family and Other Animals

I adore Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair - she is such a great anti-heroine, the only classical heroine that I can relate to and could see myself being friends with. Vibrant, funny, intelligent, calculating & not at all pathetic or insipid, she forges her own path & won't let anyone else control her destiny - I admire her a lot!
