Pickpick

#fictionalfathersday did end up getting derailed because of the stupid power outage and my phone dying, but this book is totally worth a continuation. Mr. Foxman is an absence-presence - the dysfunctional fam is sitting shiva for him, a fact that none of them are particularly thrilled about - but if it hadn't been for his death, the siblings, their mother, and the extended cast of characters never would have been in the same room. #jonathantropper

Just a little peek at Walt and Cady's pitch-perfect banter. (A transformer at my house blew, so I might not get a lot more posted for #fictionalfathersday, since my phone's battery life is garbage.) 🙄 #anobviousfact #waltlongmire #cadylongmire #craigjohnson

I love pretty much everything about the Longmire series, but the thing that grabbed me almost immediately was the beautifully-drawn relationship between Walt and his daughter Cady. It's warm and funny and heartfelt, but can be tense and combative, too - which is to say, it's so real.

It's also so much fun to see the rugged lawman turn into a marshmallow over his baby girl. 💖 #anobviousfact #waltlongmire #craigjohnson #fictionalfathersday

Silent in the Grave | Deanna Raybourn

Lord March, the debonair patriarch of the hilarious and wonderful and colorful March family, is a relatively new addition to my personal list of favorite fictional dads. As mentioned, Deanna Raybourn has such a gift for characters, and Lord March is no exception to the rule of her pantheon of creations. #silentinthegrave #deannaraybourn #fictionalfathersday

A Game of Thrones | George R. R. Martin

From Ned, to Robert, to Jaime, there are tons of examples of different fathers in "A Song of Ice and Fire." Some of them are good, some of them are...unconventional, some aren't the best, and some are downright terrible (looking at you, Tywin Lannister), but they're all brilliant characters in their own rights, and this is where our journey with them begins. #agameofthrones #georgerrmartin #asongoficeandfire #fictionalfathersday

I thought it might be fun to spotlight some fictional dads today; where better to start than Atticus Finch? I haven't read "Go Set a Watchman" yet - I just can't bring myself to do it, having heard the things I have - but as far as I'm concerned, it's "To Kill a Mockingbird" where you see the real Atticus, and who wouldn't be proud to have a father like him? #atticusfinch #tokillamockingbird #harperlee #fictionalfathersday
