The hardest part of reading isn't finishing a good book – it's deciding what to read next. This August, we've done the choosing for you with a hand-picked collection of seven exceptional books from some of today's best-loved authors. One lucky Delia Online member will win the complete bundle, worth more than £125.

If, like Agatha Christie, you enjoy the simple pleasure of a quintessentially British instituation such as a traditional afternoon tea, this prize offers the perfect pairing. As well as a pair of Premium theatre tickets to see The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre, you'll also enjoy afternoon tea for two at the elegant Royal Horseguards Hotel, an impressive historic building situated on the River Thames at Embankment. You'll get to enjoy your afternoon tea in a setting that radiates warmth and sophistication - the Green Parlour lounge - being the ideal spot in which to experience a treasured tradition.

Great cooking begins with great ingredients and the right tools. This month, we're giving one lucky Delia Online member the chance to win both. We've teamed up with HexClad, the hybrid cookware trusted by Gordon Ramsay and some of the world's finest cooks, to offer one winner a 6 Piece HexClad Hybrid Pot Set worth £477, along with a copy of 5 Ingredient Indian, the brilliant new cookbook from cookery writer, YouTube star and Great British Bake Off favourite Chetna Makan. And because good things come in two's, we also have two runner up prizes, each being a copy of Chetna's wonderful new book.

This July, we're giving one lucky member the chance to win all six of our Books of the Month titles, including heartwarming fiction, gripping crime and royal drama. Six hardback and paperback titles from some of this summer's most talked-about authors have made it onto our Books of the Month review page, including Sunday Times bestselling authors A.A. Dhand and Chris Chibnall, plus stunning debuts from Amman Brar and Elle Blair.

There are cookbooks that sit prettily on the shelf, and then there are cookbooks that earn their place on the kitchen counter, splattered with olive oil and bookmarked on every other page. We have a feeling this trio belongs firmly in the second category. We're delighted to be giving four lucky Delia Online members the chance to win a Books for Cooks bundle featuring three cookbooks that have recently caught our attention, each one bringing something genuinely different to your kitchen and your table.

Our June book picks have arrived and one lucky Delia Online member will win a six-book bundle worth over £95, spanning every summer reading mood — from spine-tingling supernatural suspense to royal history, cosy magic and deeply moving family fiction.
