  🚨 CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’RE HAVING A FULL-BLOWN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. 🚨 
  No worries. Instead of actually dealing with it, just buy this book and pretend that’s progress. 
  From the deeply unqualified mind behind every bad decision you’ve ever made comes "What Am I Even Doing? (No Seriously, Someone Tell Me)," a deeply unhelpful guide to overanalyzing your entire existence, making terrible impulse purchases, and aggressively avoiding reality. 
  Inside these pages, you’ll find zero useful advice, but you WILL find: 
  ✔️ An emotional breakdown disguised as a shopping spree—because spending $500 on throw pillows is easier than going to therapy. 
  ✔️ The five stages of buying a yoga mat and never using it—because nothing says “I’m fixing my life” like an unused fitness prop collecting dust in the corner. 
  ✔️ A complete breakdown of the “Should I Move to a Cabin in the Woods?” fantasy—spoiler: You will not survive without DoorDash. 
  ✔️ An investigation into why people keep applying for grad school—spoiler: It’s because reality is terrifying. 
  ✔️ A crisis bingo card—because why suffer privately when you can turn your spiraling into a fun game? 
  If you’ve ever had an intense desire to start over, quit your job, buy a plane ticket to nowhere, and completely reinvent yourself for no reason, this book was written for you. 
  Will this book fix your life? Absolutely not. 
  Will it validate your terrible choices? 100%.

  Mona of the Manor - A Novel

  Narrated by Mara Wilson 
  Set in the early 1990s, the long-awaited tenth novel in Armistead Maupin’s beloved and enduring Tales of the City series follows the adventures of Mona Ramsey, now the widowed Lady of a glorious old manor in Britain’s golden Cotswolds, and her fabulous adopted son Wilfred, as they come to the aid of an American visitor with a troubling secret. 
  When Mona Ramsey married Lord Teddy Roughton to secure his visa—allowing him to remain in San Francisco to fulfill his wildest dreams—she never imagined she would, by age 48, be the sole owner of Easley House, Teddy’s grand, romantic country manor in the UK. She also didn't imagine that she’d need to open the manor’s doors to paying guests to afford the electric bill and repair the leaking roof. Yet somehow she and her young friend Wilfred--whom guests assume is serving as Easley’s charming-but-clumsy butler--and the loopy old gardener Mr. Hargis, are making it work. 
  This delicate equilibrium is upended when Americans Rhonda and Ernie Blaylock arrive for a weekend vacation at Easley, and Wilfred stumbles onto their terrible secret. Now, instead of being able to focus on the imminent arrival of her old friend Michael Tolliver and beloved parent Anna Madrigal, Mona will need to focus all of her considerable charm, willpower, and wiles—and the help of Wilfred and Mona’s girlfriend Poppy, the town’s postmistress and local calligraphy whiz—to set things right before the Midsummer ceremony when the whole town will descend on Easley’s historic grounds.

  The charming and original story of a small, declining community’s struggle to survive in the shadow of an all-consuming metropolis, from from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. 
  All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. These marvellous feats of German engineering have successfully cornered the mattress market everywhere. Everywhere, except Sweden and owner Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr is desperate to expand there. 
  With Konrad Jr’s sights set firmly on stylish Stockholm, Julia Bäck, district councillor of the small, decaying town of Halstaholm, has plans of her own. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs, Julia jumps into spearheading a persuasive campaign to win the contract. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of a ten-year-old boy and three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse – it had been empty for years anyway! 
  Julia’s get-up-and-go impresses the German boss … but has she made herself a tricky bed to lie in? 
  For fans of Fredrik Backman (My Friends), Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Lisa See (The Island of Sea Women), Caimh Mcdonnell (Angels in the Moonlight), and Han Kang (We Do Not Part).
