Such a coincidence! You were really lucky, Doomsday Book is a great place to start getting to know her bibliography

When I was 15, I borrowed To Say Nothing of the Dog from my local library because the cover caught my attention. The first few chapters had me very confused, but it quickly became one of my favorite books of all time. I can't recommend it enough. I've lost count of how many times I've reread Bellwether and Doomsday Book too.
My sister (who is a reader as well, with a very different taste to mine) also loves Connie Willis, and over a decade after we first read her books, we keep referencing them in random conversations.

I used to force myself to finish books, but now I just dnf them if I can't get into them. Sometimes it's the plot, or the writing, or just that I can't connect with the characters. There's no shame in it. I hope you have better luck with your next read.
