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.

Not Your Average Laptop Stand
One of the things that I always worry about with stands for my computer is how sturdy they will be. If they aren't sturdy, they aren't really worth having. This is super sturdy -- I don't feel any bounce or flex when I work on it. It's also super well made and looks good sitting on my desk. Both of those things make this one of the best stands that I've used. I just wish it were adjustable.

I’m really impressed with these 12-inch Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets!
Size: 12 Inch, Style: Black 6Pack
I recently installed them in my living room to hold some books and decorative items, and they’ve been fantastic. The brackets feel extremely solid and well-made — the 1/5-inch thick iron gives them a sturdy, industrial look and they hold the shelves without any wobbling or sagging. I also love the sleek black finish; it looks modern and stylish, and it really complements my décor.
Installation was straightforward and stress-free because the set comes with screws, anchors, and a lever — everything I needed to get the shelves up securely. The pack of six brackets is great because it gave me enough for multiple shelves and even an extra in case I need it.
The only minor thing to note is that aligning the brackets perfectly requires a bit of patience, but once leveled, they hold like a dream.
Overall, these brackets are a great combination of strength, style, and value. They’ve made my shelves look clean and professional, and I feel confident they’ll last for years. Highly recommend for anyone looking for heavy-duty, attractive shelf support!

High quality look for office
Size: 10 Inch, Style: Black 4Pack, Size: 10 Inch, Style: Black 4Pack
These brackets were exactly what I was looking for. Very solid construction, clean powder-coated finish, and they gave the shelves a modern industrial look without being bulky. Installation was straightforward, and once mounted into studs they felt extremely sturdy.
I used them for floating wood shelves and was honestly impressed with how much weight they can handle without flexing. The black finish also matched perfectly with the rest of the room hardware.
For the price, these are a great value and look far more expensive than they are. Would definitely buy again for future projects.
