Wednesday reading — what if?

What I've been reading

I read A Burnable Book, one of those rare and wonderful medieval novels that is both respectably researched and really enjoyable to read, yay.

I read The Company of the Dead, which my brother's girlfriend recommended to him and which he recommended to me. It's a dystopian alternate history time travel story diverging on the Titanic, which is basically a bunch of things that interest me, so it was a solid recommendation! (My brother also said that he appreciated all the Titanic lore he had unwillingly absorbed because of me, because it enabled him to bond with said girlfriend over it.)
