September 28, 2017 By Cara Putman

I read a ton of fiction. I inhale novels. By July, I'd read something like sixty according to the list I keep on Goodreads. Now I find myself in a season of inhaling non-fiction, feeding my soul in a different way.

Today I thought I'd do something different and give you a little look into one of the other hats I wear. By day, I'm a full time lecturer at Purdue University, a job I absolutely adore. I feel most alive when I'm teaching and writing. So here's a video I made this week on Facebook that shares a bit about what I'm reading right now for that job.
