What I'm Reading This Week #8

I decided that it was time for me to sit down and put together my first post for the new year (finally!) and then discovered that I started this list at some point! It looks like these are the articles that were catching my attention at the end of December 2019. I'll just go ahead and post them here and then put together another list right away. I have lots of articles that I've been bookmarking! Enjoy.
