Staff Writer

Tracy is a freelance copywriter, all-around ne’er do well, very-adult graduate of the University of Iowa, and occasional waterer of plants. Her hobbies include writing fiction, reading fiction, mixing together various flavors of soup, and typing letters to her friends on an old red typewriter that doesn't have a working period so all sentences must end in questions marks or exclamation points? She has read every Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and has a lot of thoughts on them. Her old Iowa farmhouse is shared by her husband Sean, a pair of cats, a pair of dogs, and the ghost of Kurt Vonnegut.

I’ve eaten a lot of ice cream. I’ve read a lot of books. Enjoyed separately, ice cream and books would both easily make a list of my top 50 things of all time, but when enjoyed together I experience a level of bliss that’s difficult to top. I like my ice cream with maximum mix-ins, and my books with maximum relevance. And so it was inevitable: A relevant book pairing for every single Ben & Jerry’s flavor I’ve ever eaten.
