Galaxy has found the solution to the 'no time, no book' dilemma (that's right, it's a thing), with this year's release of Galaxy Quick Reads.

The initiative was launched in 2006 – the short reads intended to help reluctant readers rediscover the joy of reading. Every year, a roster of renowned authors flex their short-story-writing muscles, and this year is no different, with writers such as such as Jojo Moyes, Sophie Hannah and Roddy Doyle taking the helm.

Delve deep into everything from sinister new romances, to the heart-warming story of a homeless man and his cat.

Oh, and did we mention they're just £1?

Galaxy Quick Reads are bite-sized books written by best-selling authors, and cost only £1. They are available from bookshops, supermarkets and online or can be borrowed from libraries across the country. For more information visit quickreads.org.uk
