Welcome to #FictionFriday, where we ask Yeovil College staff to share their thoughts, opinions and just plain random tastes in books.
Each staff member selects questions to answer from a finely honed and crafted selection, designed to entertain and educate us about their reading lives.
Today we're talking to Camilla Bell, who works in the Spot as one of our fantastic Student Support team. Camilla is a talented artist who is passionate about raising awareness of mental health, and fittingly she is also Team Gryffindor.
