Third Sunday in July, what else is there to celebrate but ICE CREAM DAY! In the US, anyway. International friends, feel free to join us, though! 10 Questions and a Bonus Fact, with as many channels as I could fit! 🍦
🙋🏻♀️I'm Margaret, a historical fiction/fantasy writer, using this Booktube channel to connect with readers, writers, and other lovers of words (and tea!). There will be cat cameos, books you've never heard of, and positive community vibes. Welcome. 🌈

ORIGINAL TAG! You can do it in the next week to celebrate!
1. Vanilla…is actually a tropical orchid. Give us a book with a flower on the cover! (Bonus, tell us what kind of flower)
2. Mississippi Mud…the chocolatiest chocolate, evoking the mud of the river shaping the southern United States. Pick a book set in the south, of any country. Or a story shaped by a river.
3. Swiss Orange Chip…was my favorite flavor at SLO Maid Ice Cream, a local place that closed long ago. Give us a book you remember from childhood but no one else does.
4. Peppermint…is proven to refresh the mind and spirit! Choose a (read) book that was refreshingly unique.
5. Moose Tracks…was a great way to get Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups without buying the candy! Show us a book that is/was part of a recognizable trend.
6. Coffee…is a classic. And can be very sophisticated in its flavor profile. Name a (read) book that was so sophisticated you doubt your understanding of it.
7. Lemon…was probably original to China (everything seems to be), but I always associate it with Sorrento on the southern coast of Italy. Show us a book set in a Mediterranean country.
8. Mint ’n Chip…can be green or white, but I grew up with green, and it’s my favorite color! Give us a book about the climate, whether fiction or nonfiction.
9. Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream…is one I’ve never tried, but I love the entertainer and think he showed great class in how he responded to his treatment by CBS. Show us a book by an author you wish was still around to entertain us.
10. Neapolitan…is an American mix of three flavors: can you name them? It was actually invented while trying to improve spumoni, the original 3-flavor ice cream, brought to America by immigrants from Napoli (Neapolitan). Can you name its 3 flavors? And for the tag, show us a book you loved with an immigrant storyline.
