I FOUND A TAG ABOUT ICE CREAM.
I ate THE BEST plant-based rhubarb yogurt the other day. (Thanks for letting me switch with you, Nikita.)
I have a coconut-chocolate Haagen Dasz layer concoction in my freezer.
I’m getting hungry.
Vanilla
A book you wish had more flavor
I don’t understand…this book won AWARDS.
The Bear and the Nightingale had all the elements I love…so why did it fall flat?
Chocolate
A long book or an immersive world that you enjoyed indulging in
I didn’t want to leave the world of the Graceling Realm series.
I’m telling you it’s a beautiful place.
Except for all the torture, war, and physical maladies.
Strawberry
A romance that was super sweet
DAMN YOU, WEDDING PEACH!
WHY CAN’T I QUIT YOU?
Despite this manga being REALLY STUPID, I ATE UP the romance between Yousuke and Momoko.
I might even call it a FAVORITE.
Ice Cream Sundae
A book encompassing all the elements you love
Pffffft.
PFFFFFFFFT.
You know I have to pick The Scorpio Races.
Nothing beats murder horses and true love.
Oh, and siblings. Let’s make it hurt.
Milkshake
A book that blends genres
Say someone went the route of soft sci-fi/speculative fiction and chose to tell a time-jumping, alternate universe love story.
Q: A Novel does just that.
Your mileage may vary on its success.
Read the reviews.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t like this book.
Sprinkles
A book with a colorful cover
I read this and wept.
I find the cover SO gorgeous.
Oh, my heart.
Ice Cream Cake
A book worthy of celebration
I bought Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World without knowing it was aimed at teens.
OH WELL.
This book is a top-notch how-to guide with creative ideas (make a feminist comic about your superhero alter ego!)
Oh, and Malindo Lo contributes a phenom essay.
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich or Three Scoops on a Cone
A book with multiple perspectives
Here’s the truth: I read half of Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws at a friend’s house during a sleepover.
SHE WAS STILL ASLEEP, OKAY?
The book switches between two best friends’ POVs as they fight over the same lame guy.
I think this book had a point about friendship or SOMETHING.
Waffle Cone
A book you felt compelled to read very quickly
Hey Ladies! took me a day at most.
Maybe two.
I sped through that thing.
Pint
A book you set aside but plan on going back to later
IT COMES IN PINTS?
I’M GETTING ONE!
I’m a quarter of the way through Crooked Kingdom.
I set it down to work on new books.
I WILL pick it back up. Things just got good.
Non-book questions
Cup or cone?
Cones last longer.
Favorite flavor?
I ate an AMAZING Lucky Charms ice cream at the start of last summer
Toppings: yes or no?
Ice cream, no. Fro-yo, yes.
Favorite local ice creamery?
The ice cream debate gets heated here.
I love Salt and Straw. They came up with the Lucky Charms flavor.
That’s where my loyalties lie.
Do you like ice cream as much as I do?
Boom. Tagged.
Go forth, chili babies.
