Happy to see your list of top books! I learned of Anthony Horowitz through your videos and tried his Magpie Murders last year. I enjoyed it so much that it made my top books of 2024! So I look forward to trying more of his work. Thanks for that! A recommendation I’d give you would be In the Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce. It’s historical fiction about a female serial killer. It’s very character-driven. I can’t remember, from your videos, if you’ve tried it before, but I’m curious if it would work for you, considering your profession and how character focused it is. I liked the story.
Happy New Year Juan!!! In always enjoy seeing what you've read. It's always very different from what we usually see on here. Thanks for the recommendations and all the fun you bring to Booktube.
Juan, I absolutely love your videos. As a fellow Mexicano, I’m particularly excited to read Hurricane Season. I wish my Spanish was better so I can read it in Spanish, but I digress. It’s refreshing and just plain awesome to have someone as insightful and critical with a Mexican lens in the Booktube world. Can’t wait to see what you have in store in 2025!
Hello, great list. These are my 10: Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel The Force by Don Winslow The Silmarillion Wellness by Nathan Hill A Much Younger Man by Dianne Highbridge The Pugilist at Rest by Thom Jones Thieves of State by Sarah Chayes Erasing History by Jason Stanley
I just read Netsuke by Rikki Ducornet which seems like a perfect pairing with the Evenson. Ducornet is also a poet and her novella rests on a line between Lolita and Silence of the Lambs. (No serial killers or pedophiles in Netsuke, but the terrible central figure is a psychoanalyst whose voice made me think of Dr. Lecter and Humbert Humbert...) An extremely intense and disturbing book, worth a read. I will check out Evenson!
My three humble recommendations: Guillaume Musso's The Reunion (critics don't like him because he's immensely successful and sells a lot, but imo he's a writer who really knows what he's doing on a technical level. If you loved The Secret History, this one was clearly inspired by it); Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow (it was very hyped a few years ago and you can definitely see why. Beautiful writing and a beautiful story about friendship); Salinger's Franny & Zooey (reread it recently and I liked it more than when I read it for the first time).
Hola, Juan, Feliz 2025! I can recommend "Shattered" by Hanif Kureishi and "Prophet Song" by Paul Lynch. They are quite grim, but brilliant books, and made a huge impression on me.
Gracias por el video, he picoteando algún libro. Conoces El camino de Delibes, novela de crecimiento?; y conoces a Antonio Blay?. Echales un ojo, como decimos en España. Feliz 2025 y muchas buenas lecturas❤
A beautiful list. Would have found it more beautiful if you had at least a single African book for a start. You might want to read God's Children are Little Broken Things for a Start.

My best book of the year was Apparitions by Adam Pottle! ⭐️
Fury by Clyo Mendoza is amazing! Read Evenson's Last Days. You won't forget either one.

Not gonna lie, I expected your top 3 or 4 to be all Horowitz 😂 Happy new year!

Have you read a Hispanic author last month?
