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.

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.

My favourite female character from a book is Matilda, She was smart and empathetic, not afraid to stick up for others, inventive in her pursuit for revenge, and to top it off she could perform telekinesis.
