Stone Cold would be my choice for a great Fathers’ Day read.
Would love to read Unbroken by Hillebrand. 🙂
My husband would love the alternative history title. He read a Philip Roth one he enjoyed a few years ago.
I would love to win the copy of Unbroken as a father’s day gift!
Around the world in 80 days for me and mine!
I think my Dad would like “Unbroken” or Stephen King’s “11/22/63”
Happy Father’s Day to all Dad’s this Father’s Day.
My husband is a history buff. He would love the JFK book but I’m sure that he’d love any of those books listed.
I would love to win 11/22/63 by Stephen King for my dad. He loves King. (I get to read them when he’s done and then swap them here!)
Would love to have Unbroken!
Unbroken! What a nice and generous giveaway. Thank you.
“Unbroken” is my choice. It reminds me of my dad, who has passed, and was in WWII.
Would love to win a copy of 11/22/63!
JFK Slain in Dallas… I remember the day, the time… listening to the radio report that interrupted high school junior level sociology class, walking silently as a group to the shop class that had a TV. The dependable world I knew stopped a few hours for me that day, I didn’t know how to grieve over the loss, my dad had stayed up all night when Kennedy was elected, now this end. A measure of youthful innocence was lost. Could someone have had a chance to stop the killing? I’d love to read about that possibility!
My hubby would love the ESPN book. Hope we win it. Happy Flag Day and Fathers day everybody!
Unbroken, for sure!!
My husband would love 11/23/63…he’s not the most avid reader, but he does love Stephen King’s work.
Would be interested to read Unbroken by L. Hillenbrand–father in law fought in WWII in Alaska; he’s a history buff. Thanks. 🙂
“Those Guys Have All the Fun”
Around the World in 80 Days 🙂
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
My husband is a big Jesse Stone fan so he would enjoy Stone Cold. He would really appreciate that he gets a book instead of me!!
This dad would love to read Unbroken!
My dad is a history buff so 11/22/63 the history one about JFK
I have had “Unbroken” on my wish list for more than a year. As a retiree, I need free or very cheap books, so buying is not an option. I would love to read this book.
I would love either the Stephen King or the Jules Verne! I no longer have a father figure in my life, though… 🙁
My dad would love Unbroken. He’s obsessed with history (especially WWII)
My husband doesn’t read AT ALL unless it is sports related.Those Guys Have All the Fun would be a perfect Father’s Day gift from our 6 year old.:)
espn for sure
our Extra Special Parent Needs the ESPN book…great reading for his Throne Room! 🙂 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, everyone!
I would like to give my husband “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand.
Hubby would love 11/22/63 by Stephen King
I thnk mine would most want to read 11/22/63.
I would like to get the 11/23/63 Stephen King book. I love all his books.
Would love to give my dad a copy of 11/22/63.
The Perfect Book for Dad. I bet it does what it says on the tin.
Best wishes to all the Dads on Father’s Day! Have a Great Weekend!
Unbroken is the only one on my wish list but I’m not seeing enough love for Jules Verne so I’ll say I’d pick that one. In actuality, I’d be happy winning any of them. Good luck all!
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
Unbroken for my dad. Thanks.
My dad would read them all, but I think the Stephen King book would be a very interesting read for us both 😉
My hubby would really enjoy Those Guys Have All the Fun Inside the World of ESPN. Thank you!
Stone Cold — Thanks!
Count me in for Unbroken.
My dad would love “Around the World in Eighty Days” by Jules Verne. What a great giveaway. Thanks!
What a great giveaway – thanks PBS!
I could see either of the last two working for my husband. 🙂 He’s such a great husband and a wonderful father!
I have myself a “mystery dad” & “history dad”. Sometimes stretches his mind as an “alternative history dad”. Mostly…I have a “free-book dad”. Surprise me!
would love to win.
I would love to have one. Choose me!!!
Would love to win 11/22/63 it has been on my wish list forever!!
