Tywin Lannister! I picked that paragon of non- virtue as well lol. The other ones I don't know for the most part, but looks like a great list!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. Have a lovely week!
DeleteGreat list! Totally agree with you on Arthur Weasley and Sirius Black.
ReplyDeleteThanks you and thanks for stopping bu our blog. Have a lovely week!
DeleteGreat list, we agree on Mr Weasly and that terrifying man from the Shining. I thought about the Lolita one but as I just can't bring myself to read the book didn't, but totally agree, it just makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday @ Engrossed in a good book
My list would be complete with Mr. Weasly. You are not missing anything with Loliat. Thanks for stopping by our blog. Have a lovely week!
DeleteI didn't think about Sirius as a father figure, but you're absolutely right!!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you very much. He might not been a father but he was a father figure to Harry. Have a lovely week!
DeleteArthur Weasley is the best. And Charlie Swan had the patience of a saint because I'd have smacked Bella by chapter 3. LOL
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
LOL! OMG! I totally agree with you, I keep telling people that the best thing about that series was Charlie Swan. Thanks for stopping by our blog.
DeleteSirius Black is a fab father figure. :-) Great choices!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Happy Reading!
DeleteWhy did you have to go and mention Sirius, now I'm going to be crying all day. I almost put Lupin on my list, but it still stings...it still stings! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI had too. Thanks for stopping by our blog. Have a lovely week!
DeleteDefinitely agree with your favs! (Not familiar with the worst lol)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Have a lovely week!
DeleteI forgot about Luke Garraway and the fathers in Twilight! They really were so pure!!
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I remember Luke Garraway because we are rereading TMI. Thanks for stopping by our blog.
DeleteI'm glad to see you added Luke to your list! Tywin and Jack made my list too. :)

Great minds do think alike. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Reading.

Thanks and thank you for visiting our blog. Happy Reading.
DeleteSo many great picks on your list! Arthur Weasley is a great father, so funny, I love him in the film too. As for Jack Torrance, considering how terrifying he was in The Shining, it's no wonder that he's included in the worst dads section!
ReplyDeleteI haven't "met" him in the books, but will admit I like Luke in the Shadowhunters TV show! (Or what I saw of it.) Typing out "Luke" also reminds me of Luck Dane from Gilmore Girls. He wasn't Rory's dad, but I did love their all-too-rare scenes together. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland!
I love the examples that you chose! Great list!!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to blogging and book reviewing, and I was wondering if you had any tips for newbie bloggers and book reviewers.
If you have the time, please check out my blog @breenysbooks. I'd love any feedback. Have a wonderful day.
