Introducing Real-Time Recommendations on Books Mandala

A Smarter, Simpler Way to Find Your Next Read

You know the feeling. You want to read something new, but you are not quite sure what. You try typing a few words into the search bar. “Something uplifting,” or “books like The Midnight Library,” or maybe just “quiet love story.” Then you hit search and hope something clicks.

We’ve been there too. And we wanted to make that moment easier and more intuitive for every reader who visits booksmandala.com.

Starting today, you will notice something new when you search for books. Our platform now offers smarter recommendations in real time, helping you find books based on the kind of story you are looking for, not just the exact words you type.

Whether you are in the mood for comfort reads, slow-burn romance, books with strong female leads, or stories that make you feel hopeful, the new recommendation system is designed to surface the right suggestions instantly. And everything you see is available to order right away.

To try it yourself, go to booksmandala.com and click on the search bar. Toggle on the "Enable Recommendation" button. Then describe what you are looking for. Try prompts like:

"A heartwarming story that will make me smile"

"Self-improvement books to boost productivity"

"Stories similar to Game of Thrones"

"A historical novel based on true events"

Your personalized recommendations will appear in real time, drawn from the books we currently have in stock.

1. Look for the toggle button in the search modal

2. Write a prompt based on mood, genre, or even a feeling

This feature was created by our tech team at Mandala Tech, who have shared a deeper look at how the recommendation engine works at Books Mandala here!

But for most of us, the experience is simple. Just type how you feel or what you want to read, and let the suggestions come to you. No filters. No guesswork. Just good books, discovered in a better way.

We hope this new feature helps you stumble into your next favorite story.

With Care,

Books Mandala Team
