There’s no better feeling in the world than learning something new and getting lost in a great story. Whether you’re staring at colourful salmon pieces on a white plate in Chef Culinary Media Group’s Artist Series, or you’re curled up on the couch with your favourite book, it creates an enjoyable moment as you devour a good read. However, knowing that this is often not the case for many of us can be heartbreaking. In fact, over 97% of people have never even finished reading one of their favourite books! That’s why we’ve rounded up three motivational books for book lovers to help change that statistic and enjoy more mindful time with their novels. These books are enjoyable, inspiring and often funny. In fact, we guarantee you will laugh out loud at least once while reading them.
