Congrats Sushicat!
I read Willis' Doomsday Book years ago and remember enjoying it but nothing specific. Maybe it's time to reread?

I just finished Tanya Huff's Sing the Four Quarters. I enjoyed it a lot: it's fun and light book with interesting world-building and characters. It's set in a fantasy world where magic is done through nature spirits, the kigh. Only bards can command the kigh, or rather ask for their help. The book has several point-of-view characters. Annice is a bard who finds out soon that she's pregnant and spends most of the book on the run and very pregnant. Stasya is her girlfriend and also a bard. Pjerin is the duc of a remote but tactically important keep. He's fraimed as a traitor and Annice helps him to run. While this might look like a setup for romance, it's not. Annice and Pjerin can barely tolerate each other. They're both very proud and convinced that they're right.

I've got the second book in the series and I'm going to read it next. It's set in the same world but has different characters.
