Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
Q: Who is best father figure in a book you have read and why?
A: I feel like there are a lot more great dads in books than moms so you would think this would be easy but no such luck. I had a really hard time with this one too. Here's what I came up with...
1. The King - Entwined: Okay, at first he's not the best parent in the world but I really love how his relationships with his daughters develops toward the end of the book. Huge Aww-factor there.
2. Carlisle and Charlie in Twilight - I mean seriously. They are both so perfect in their own ways.
That's it, all I could come up with. Let me know what you got below and make sure to follow via GFC and Facebook!
TGIF is a weekly blog hop hosted by GReads. It helps bloggers gain exposure and it gives us all one more thing to talk about on Fridays!
Q: Most Valuable Book: From your personal collection of books, which ones hold the most value to you - is it signed by the author? or maybe it's your favorite story of all time? Share it with us.
A: My favorite is a very early edition of Longfellow's collected poems. It was one of my grandfather's favorite books and we used to read it when I was little. He gave it to me before he passed away. I love poetry and antique books so with the sentimental value added in it's pretty much priceless to me.
I said the same thing about no fathers in books I read. I guess parents are uncool lol. This was a hard one. New follower!

Charlie and Carlisle, YES. Everybody's mentioning Charlie and poor Carlisle has been swept to the unimportant section. He's a great father as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd you and your grandfather? Adorable. Seriously. My grandfather speaks a lick of English, so to say it would be difficult to read together is an understatement of epic proportions. You're lucky you can say you've done that with him.
Hi :) new GFC follower! I also chose Charlie and Carlisle :)
ReplyDeleteHere is our FF post
Awww...I love the grandfather story with the poems. So sweet! I liked Charlie as a character even though I'm not a huge Twilight fan. I have Entwined on my Kindle so I'll have to check it out. Old follower.

Great choices, I do not know the first one, but I picked Charlie as one of mine, I should have said Carlise too, as he is a great father figure to Edward.

Great picks. I thought about Charlie, but not Carlisle. But I agree, Carlisle is a wonderful father, strong, empathetic, protective, etc.
