Bookcrossing in Ecuador

Brought a stack of books with me to Ecuador, a lot are Latin American related. 
On our first trip around Ecuador, I took a few books to exchange, as a lot of hostels here have book exchanges.  Latacunga was disappointing, either trashy 70s thrillers or books in Dutch.  We had more luck in Cuenca, though it was a rather cheeky book plus $1 exchange.  There was a tiny selection in Guayaquil, so exchanged one.  I had been hoping to pick up more 1001 books to help me with my 2010 total.

Hostal Macondo in Cuenca in Cuenca, Azuay Ecuador
1.Emma
2. Mr. Nice

I also left the His Dark Materials trilogy, which I had given my brother to read:
3.Northern Lights (His Dark Materials)
4. The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials)
5.The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials)

Picked up in Cuenca at the hostel;
1. Papillon
Rather pleased about this as it was a book I had been looking out for.
2. The Divine Comedy: Inferno v. 1 - travelling is the perfect time to read heavy classics.
3. The Lost World - Another book I was looking for.
4. Valkyrie Encounter - Nazi thriller
5. Death in the Andes - picked up for my brother

My brother gave me
Brothers Karamazov (a tome of a book!), which I left at Hostal Dream Kapture, in Guayaquil, Guayas Ecuador, in exchange for A Summer Affair
