...I think I have smushes on Sue Perkins, Sandi Toksvig, Victoria Coren, Katy Brand, and Susan Calman (who has not been on QI [yet] but is all over Radio 4. She is tiny and Scottish and lesbian and cheerful and dresses her cats up in costumes as a hobby, there is nothing about her that I don't find adorable.)
...and Catherine Tate of course but who doesn't.
RE: Lymond Chronicles: I haven't read it yet, but apparently not! It appears to be Renaissance suspense/adventure/intrigue instead. (I am shocked, too. But there is something of a tradition of historical novels having Chronicles, though lately they seem more likely to be Sagas if they're historicals.)
