Hey everyone, Arika here for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday hosted by the wonderful ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish. This weeks theme is a pretty obvious one with Father’s day coming up this Sunday….a list to do with Dads. So I decided to do a list on my favorite literature dads. This could be dads who made a big influence on the character or even characters who were like dads for the main hero. There are many ways a character can provide support or a lending hand when that main character has no clue what to do. These characters might not be the best all around guys or do everything right but in the end they are there to help and get those main characters through difficult times in their lives. I don’t think they could have made it through their troubles with out them. There are tons of good choices out there, so I thought I would list a few of my favorites! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Arthur Weasley – Harry Potter Series | Sirius Black – Harry Potter Series | Atticus Finch – To Kill a Mockingbird | Gabril – The Shadow Queen | Mr. Bennet – Pride and Prejudice | Lord Eddard Stark – A Game of Thrones | Shalom Singer – The Selection | Haymitch Abernathy – The Hunger Games Series | Aragorn – Lord of the Rings Series | Aslan – The Chronicles of Narnia
Question: What are some of your favorite Dads or Dad like characters?
I would add Gandalf to this list too! Great picks! Some of my very faves 🙂 My TTT

I never really thought about Haymitch as a father, but he really did look out for Katniss, didn’t he? Great list!

He is almost like a lovable uncle in the end but he kind of stuck out to me when I was coming up with a list. So I figured….why not!
