Bonding Over Books: Reading Recommendations for Father's Day

What do you think of when we say Dad? We think of a figure who imparts much knowledge on various subjects, from buying a tool kit to helping us pick prom clothes, much like books. How about you win a chance to give your dads or your favourite father figures a great experience with Virgin Experience Days worth £100? Intrigued? We'll let you know about the competition we have at Books2Door soon, but first, let us take you on a journey of book suggestions that will be perfect for a Father's Day read with your dad or anyone who has been like a dad to you!

Let's start with parents. How about a set of books for parents looking to find something for their significant other for Father's Day to give via your toddlers? We suggest wrapping the beautiful I Love You And Other Stories 10 Books Collection Box Set by Giles Andreae & Emma Dodd. This cute set is a great way to introduce your children to relationships! For obvious reasons, start with "I Love My Daddy" on Father's Day!

Now, for dads who adore non-fiction! Dads are often inclined towards reasoning and logical skills, so we have a great collection of non-fiction for dads that keeps us grounded in reality. We suggest our best-selling All Creatures Great and Small: The Complete James Herriot 8 Books Box Set. This complete box set of James Herriot's memoirs is the inspiration for the hit Channel 5 series All Creatures Great and Small. From the Yorkshire Dales to World War II, follow James Herriot through his real-life adventures. Perfect for dads who love some calm and quiet with their books.

For dads who love fiction, we've got you covered! Fun fact: Dads love Dexter! No kidding; Dexter Complete Collection 8 Books Set by Jeff Lindsay is one of our best-sellers from our Father's Day collection! This Dexter set is the perfect gift for your fiction-loving dad. And remember, if there's even a slight chance to hold their attention, it's by getting them books from our thriller collection, which dads are big fans of. We also suggest The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett & Stephen Baxter for dads who love Science Fiction. This collaborative science fiction series combines unique takes into one extraordinary narrative, letting dads immerse themselves into different timeframes.

We've provided some fantastic suggestions to gift your dads, or if you're a dad reading this wonderful blog dedicated to you, feel free to get your hands on any of these, or maybe even all of them. The choice is yours; you're in control. Alright, maybe discuss this with your significant other, but yes, you're in control!

Now, let's talk about the chance to win a fantastic experience, shall we?
