Savvy Savings on Summer Reads

Are you looking for a great book to get stuck into on your sun lounger or a cosy bedtime story? Look no further! As a budget bookworm, I’ve got the scoop on how to source your holiday fiction for less.

Free Fiction

Top fiction titles from John Grisham, Stephen King, Rev Richard Coles, and One-Day writer David Nicholls don’t come cheap. But, did you know you can get access to thousands of books from leading authors for free? Join your local library and support the vital local library service at the same time. Most libraries have an app that allows you to borrow titles to read on your phone or tablet - all for free!

Get lost in a good book

Primed for Summer

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, make the most of it by borrowing e-books, comics, and magazines at no extra cost. You can find a vast selection of titles to keep you entertained all summer long.

Listen Up!

If you enjoy listening to stories, head to the BBC Sounds app to find dozens of recent novels, as well as classics from previous years. Right now, you can choose from titles including Beth Mead’s Lioness: My Journey To Glory and Nick Grimshaw’s Soft Lad.

Tune in to great stories

Classic Tales

If this year is the holiday when you’re determined to up your reading game and crack a classic, visit gutenberg.org. This library of 70,000 free e-books is not the place to find a fluffy romance, but you will come across classics such as E.M. Forster’s A Room With A View, a coming-of-age tale set during a sultry Italian summer, and Daniel Defoe’s much-loved adventure Robinson Crusoe to unleash your inner castaway.
