FREE FICTION: Top fiction right now includes titles from John Grisham, Stephen King, Rev Richard Coles and One-Day writer David Nicholls. But they don’t come cheap.

To get top sellers like these for less, your best bet is the library. Join for free to get access to thousands of books from leading authors and more.

You will be supporting the vital local library service at the same time. Most have an app that allows you to borrow titles to read on your phone or tablet — all for free.

PRIMED FOR SUMMER: If you are an Amazon Prime member, make the most of it by borrowing e-books, comics and magazines at no extra cost.

Browse the titles at Prime Reading to get stuck into popular page-turners including The Garnett Girls by Georgina Moore and The Island Of Dreams by Helen McGinn.

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.

Go to the home page and then scroll down to Audio Books. Right now you can choose from titles including Beth Mead’s Lioness: My Journey To Glory and Nick Grimshaw’s Soft Lad.

CLASSIC TALES: If this year is the holiday when you are determined to up your reading game and crack a classic, visit gutenberg.org.

The 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.
