2015 Guayaquil Book Fair Recap
A while I go, I mentioned how I was starting a bookish revolution. It’s slow going. But I have high hopes for this. So the first step, was actually getting to know better the ecuadorian book community. Which was why after almost three years of absence, I decided to go to the anual book fair!
And surprisingly, I had a lot of fun. Only downside was I had no money to buy any actual books! Boohoo
And hung out with THE Jane Austen! She took pity on me and agreed to pose with me for a pic, while my friend met Gabriel García Márquez.
I liked how there was a lot of schools that had organized trips there and see the guys getting interested in books. There was even a section for comics!
While I didn’t have a chance to buy any books, I did get myself an official reader ID. :’D I thought it’d be hilarious to have that in my wallet.
We walked around the place at least a dozen times. I’d have loved to attend one of the conferences that were going to take place, but life is hard and college sucks, so I had to settle for going at noon, when the attendees were mostly school kids.
We still managed to hand out some of these though!
