What better time than Father’s Day to honor and appreciate dads and the special men who have shaped our lives with love, wisdom, and unwavering support? There’s no better way to show appreciation for the dads who read than by gifting them a captivating story.
Books have the unique ability to transport us to different worlds, offer new perspectives, and provide relaxation amidst our busy lives. In this spirit, I’d like to suggest two of my books that make great Father’s Day gifts for the literary dads out there:
She Wore Mourning (Zachary Goldman Mysteries PI series)
For dads who enjoy diving into intricate mysteries and thrilling investigations, “She Wore Mourning,” the first book in my Zachary Goldman Mysteries PI series, is an excellent choice. The story follows private investigator Zachary Goldman as he navigates a new case while wrestling with his own personal demons. With its realistic details and deep characterization, this novel promises an engrossing experience that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Perfect for fathers who enjoy unraveling suspenseful plots and immersing themselves in richly woven narratives. A thrilling read you can gift this Father’s Day.
Stand Alone (10th Anniversary Edition)
If your dad prefers thought-provoking literature that tackles serious social issues with sensitivity and depth, consider gifting “Stand Alone,” now available in a special 10th-anniversary edition with an eye-catching new cover that draws readers in even before they turn the first page and beautiful formatting. This YA novel explores themes of resilience, identity, and overcoming adversity—universal themes that resonate deeply regardless of age. The compelling narrative makes it a read that fathers can appreciate not just for its storytelling but also for its emotional impact.
As we celebrate Father’s Day this year, let’s take a moment to express gratitude for all that our dads—or father figures—have done for us. A heartfelt message combined with one (or both!) of these books could be just the way to show how much you care.
To all the reading dads out there—Happy Father’s Day!
