Confusing the Subject

Like 'gustar' (to like), 'interesar' is usually used in Spanish to mean 'to be interesting to someone.' The subject of the verb is the thing that interests you (plural for 'interesan'), and the person interested is the object.

The 'Backwards' Verb Structure

You must use a special pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) before 'interesan' to say *who* is interested. For example, 'Me interesan' (They interest me).

Using the Right Pronoun

Remember to use 'interesa' (singular) if only one thing is interesting ('El libro me interesa'), but use 'interesan' (plural) if two or more things are interesting ('Los libros me interesan').

Singular vs. Plural

Extremely common. This form is used whenever the things being discussed are plural and capture someone's attention.

'Interesan' is the 'they/you all' form of the verb 'interesar' (to interest). Learn how to use this common verb in the 'gustar'-like structure to express that multiple things are appealing or matter to someone.
