Despite the occasional attempts of the weather to persuade us otherwise, summer's not quite over yet. And many of us are still looking forward to our well-earned breaks, be they in some far-flung corner of the world, making the most of the UK or simply a gloriously work-free staycation in the comfort of our own homes.

Wherever the destination, it's likely there's a chunk of downtime requiring a new book (or three) to lose oneself in, not to mention those who've already taken holidays and need their commute fare topping up. To that end, we have asked the experts at Penguin to recommend 10 summer reads especially for Stylist.co.uk readers.

If that's not enough to satiate your literary appetite, you might be interested in the publisher's newest digital venture which delves into their archives to provide free access to new content daily, including deleted scenes and author interviews, as well as extracts from books not even released yet.

The collaboration with Transport for London and Virgin Media is part of Penguin's 80th birthday celebrations and until 28 August, tube customers can visit summerofpenguin.com and read and listen to stories and ideas from the likes of Harper Lee, Terry Pratchett, John Cleese, The Hemsley Sisters and Stephen Fry.

Take a look through the below recommendations to find fiction and non-fiction, old and new, and see what takes your fancy. Happy reading!
