Bookcrossing in Portugal

Unfortunately, Coimbra is not an active Bookcrossing town, and to be fair, I haven't been doing much wild releasing. Books are expensive here and there aren't many second hand options, so have been reliant on rays, the 1001-Library, Bookmooch and books brought over from the U.K. I am also lucky that there is a bookshelf at work, so have been making my way through them.

Brought with me:
Enduring Love bought at the airport
Montenegro read for the 999 Challenge and Olympic Challenge
Four Corners: A Journey into the Heart of Papua New Guinea read for the 999 Challenge
The Rose Of Sebastopol read and sent on for NSS
Masters of the Dew (Caribbean Writers Series) arrived in my Latin American Bookbox
The Poison That Fascinates read for a readalong
The Hinge Factor: How Chance and Stupidity Have Changed History read for NSS
On Beauty 1001 book
To the Lighthouse 1001 book
A Clockwork Orange (Essential Penguin) 1001 book
The Stone Diaries (The Perennial Collection)1001 book
The Emigrants 1001 book
