Thursday. The plan, in full: a good book and absolutely nowhere to be. 🐾

A few weeks back we said life really does get better when you get back into your nerdy interests.
Readers, I took our own advice; book on the head (don’t ask), and not a single thing on my to-do list.

One more day till the weekend. What are you getting back into?

Love, Jubilee

Fredrik Backman has a particular talent.

He makes you care, deeply and against your will, about people you would walk straight past on the street.

A group of strangers taken hostage at an apartment viewing.
A small town that pins its entire future on a teenage hockey team. And then, gently, he breaks your heart along with theirs.

This boxset puts three of his best in one place.

Anxious People, the funniest book about a failed bank robbery you will ever read. Beartown, the one readers cannot stop pressing into their friends’ hands. And its sequel Us Against You, about loyalty, grief, and the lines we cross for the people we love.

Clear your weekend.
Tell the group chat you are unavailable.
The Best of Fredrik Backman is on our shelf at booksmandala.com.

Nora is engaged to Robin.
They are happy, the kind of happy you do not want to question.
Then Bren, the childhood best friend she shared a crackling, undeniable connection with, walks back into her life after twelve years away, unannounced, at her own engagement party.

People in Love is the second novel from Claire Daverley, whose debut Talking at Night was published in over twenty languages and shortlisted at the British Book Awards.
It is about what-ifs and the small decisions that quietly decide a whole life, and according to nearly everyone who has read it, one of the best endings in recent romance.
The kind of book you lose hours to and finish with tissues nearby.
The real love story is not always the one you would expect.

New arrival, in stock at booksmandala.com.

Taiwan, 1938. A Japanese novelist arrives on the island with a monstrous appetite and no interest in the empire that invited her. Her Taiwanese interpreter arranges everything, the train journeys, the braised pork rice, the winter melon tea, and somewhere along the way becomes the person she cannot stop thinking about.
Taiwan Travelogue is a love story between two women told through food, language, and the quiet weight of who holds power over whom. Yang Shuang-zi wrote it as a fake translation of a lost text, a trick so convincing it became a sensation in Taiwan. Last month it won the 2026 International Booker Prize, the first book translated from Mandarin Chinese ever to do so, after already taking the US National Book Award for Translated Literature.
Tender, clever, and quietly devastating. New arrival, in stock now at booksmandala.com.
