Hello Wishing for Chanel! I’m Kath, Ria’s best friend and book blogger at Sensitivity and Flair. I’m very excited to be posting for you while Ria’s gallivanting all about NYC, and making me jealous with all the yummy food she seems to be eating.
In honour of Father’s Day, and inspired by todays #bookadayuk question, I’m bringing to you five of my favourite fictional fathers.

The Year of the Rat
While Pearl thinks that her mum dying and the Rat coming along ruined her relationship with her stepfather, by the end of the novel it really only makes it stronger. Her stepfather patiently waits for her to deal with things. He doesn’t always know how to make it better, and he doesn’t always do the next right thing, but he waits.
Geek Girl
I think if there’s anything to say about Harriet’s father, it’s that he’s a good dad. Maybe sometimes a little misguided, but all in all a very good dad. He would follow Harriet to the ends of the earth if it’s what he thought she wanted, and for all intents and purposes, he does just that.
Chaos Walking Trilogy
Cillian and Ben, the surrogate parents of Todd Hewitt are truly excellent fathers to the boy. They essentially sacrifice themselves for him in Chaos Walking, and what we learn about them before and after that event shows that they adored and loved him.
Fangirl
Cath and Wren’s dad poured his heart and soul into the girls when their mother walked out on them. He’s loved them wholly, and them him.
Harry Potter
Arthur Weasley. Do I need to say more?
Massive thanks to Ria for letting me set up camp here for a day. If you want to read more bookish ramblings, feel free to stroll on over to my blog.
