Those of you who have been following our blog know that my partner and I have been doing a monthly themed read this year. We alternate picking books that fit the listed themes in the photo above and we read, discuss, and review them in our book journals. This month it was my partner's turn to pick for April (either comedy or earth day related books). I fully admit that I was judgmental about his book selection from the start and thought he was trying to play an April Fool's joke on me. The kitschy cover and description of both the book and the author ("her work on Halo, Gears of War, Batman, G.I.
