A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF 2024

A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR

"Short, strange, spiky and sublime.” Dwight Garner, New York Times

“Funny, ghastly, eye-opening, marvelous.” —Wall Street Journal

From the visionary author of Sudden Death, a hallucinatory, revelatory colonial revenge story.


One morning in 1519, conquistador Hernán Cortés enters the city of Tenochtitlan – today's Mexico City. Later that day, he will meet the emperor Moctezuma in a collision of two worlds, two empires, two languages, two possible futures.

Cortés is accompanied by his captains, his troops, his prized horses, and his two translators: Friar Aguilar, a taciturn friar, and Malinalli, an enslaved, strategic Nahua princess. After nearly bungling their entrance to the city, the Spaniards are greeted at a ceremonial welcome meal by the steely Aztec princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of Moctezuma. As they await their meeting with the emperor – who is at a political and spiritual crossroads, and relies on hallucinogens to get by – Cortés and his entourage are ensconced in the labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés’s captains, Jazmín Caldera, overwhelmed by the grandeur of the place, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed into the city, and wonders at the chances of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire. And what if... they don't?

You Dreamed of Empires brings Tenochtitlan to life at its height, and reimagines its destiny. The incomparably original Álvaro Enrigue sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, a restitutive, fantastical counterattack, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream.

The Best "Stock Up and Save" Find on the Internet! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh, Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
If you are tired of overpaying for fancy hand soaps that run out in a week, this Amazon Basics 6-pack of Liquid Hand Soap is the ultimate household hack. It’s simple, effective, and honestly, a total steal. Why this 6-pack is a total winner: The "Original Fresh" Scent: It’s exactly what you want in a hand soap—clean, light, and crisp. It’s not overpowering or flowery; it just smells like a freshly cleaned house. Gentle on Hands: I wash my hands a lot throughout the day, and this formula doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or cracked. It lathers up perfectly and rinses off clean without that weird "filmy" feeling some cheap soaps have. The Perfect Size: The 7.5 fl oz bottles are the ideal "goldilocks" size. They fit on every sink—from the tiny powder room to the cluttered kitchen counter—without taking up too much space. Bulk Convenience: Buying the 6-pack means I’m not constantly adding soap to my grocery list. I keep one at every sink and have backups ready in the pantry. No more "emergency runs" to the store when a bottle runs dry! The Bottom Line: You don’t need to spend $5 a bottle for clean hands. This Amazon Basics soap does the job perfectly, smells great, and saves you a ton of money over time. It’s a boring purchase that makes life so much easier. Final Verdict: 10/10. Great lather, great scent, and even better price. I’m officially a convert!

Clean Ingredients. Love this fragrance! Clean, light and refreshing.
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this brand of hand soap. One of the biggest things that stands out to me is that it’s made with natural ingredients, which makes it feel like a much cleaner product compared to others I’ve used. The fragrances are all amazing, and I really like that they use essential oils instead of harsh synthetic scents. It smells great without being overwhelming. This fragrance is one of my favorites. I find myself coming back to it because of the light, clean & refreshing fragrance. It also lathers really nicely, and a little bit goes a long way, which makes it last longer than I expected. Overall, it feels high quality, gentle, and refreshing to use every day.

Great Product
Scent: Rain Water, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just picked up this Liquid Hand Soap Refill in the Rainwater scent, and I’m seriously obsessed. I finally decided to stop buying those small plastic pumps every two weeks and grab the big 33 oz bottle instead. The Scent is Everything: If you like things that smell "clean" but not like bleach or fake lemons, you need this. It’s super fresh and garden-inspired—it literally smells like a rainy morning. Eco-Friendly & Saves Money: This one jug refills my countertop bottle about 2.5 times. It’s way cheaper in the long run and cuts down on all that plastic waste. Actually Moisturizing: My hands usually get so dry from washing them a million times a day, but this has aloe vera and olive oil in it. It feels really soft and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight. Clean Ingredients: It’s 98% plant-derived and cruelty-free, so I feel a lot better about having it at the kitchen sink where the whole family uses it. Honestly, if you're looking for a small way to upgrade your kitchen or bathroom vibe, this is it. It makes a boring chore feel a little more like a spa moment!

Like Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap
Scent: Basil, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great hand soap and consistently re-purchase for use. Only downside has been the fluctuations in price. The fragrance is good and not over powering. Good at both greasy and non-greasy hand cleaning. Overall feels good on the skin!

Switched to Meyers, Not animal tested product
Scent: Lemon Verbena, Size: 33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this refill and the smell is lemony and a sweet clean scent. I LOVE the fact this company does NOT test on animals and its good for the environment. I have switched to all Meyer products now including their room spray. It lathers nicely and it is gentle enough for my sensitive hands. I break out and dry out due to my autoimmune. I feel clean and this has been a great product. I was turned on to their body and cleaning products for when an AirnB home used it for all of their needs. I love seeing this in the larger bottles for refills. Great product!
