Since last bookhaul I bought only three books, but I finally got one and in the edition that I've been looking for over a year! These are the books I got:

Because I got accepted to a new school (I'm going to study Media Design! Which is all about coding, editing, photoshop, etc. etc.) I decided to pick up a book about a special art form: popism. POPism seems really interesting, so I cannot wait to read it.

 

The Secret Garden is one that has always been interesting to me, so I picked it up (also because the Vintage Children's Classics are just really beautiful and I want to expand that collection). 

 

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen was one of the only ones that I had to get (and wanted) in the old edition, so now I have all books from That Summer 'till Lock and Key in the same edition. I don't mind if her newer ones will be (because I already own Along for the Ride in the new edition) in the new edition, but I really wanted her old ones to match. I've been looking for over a year for Dreamland in this edition and now I finally have it. It's secondhand and a bit damaged, but for only 4,55 euros I can't complain.

 

What have you recently bought?

Easy read but fascinating. Warhol's style is very conversational, very gossipy, and if it weren't for the tragic ends of so many of the individuals featured, Popism would be almost fluffy. The name dropping got to be a little much, as if he were trying to stuff as many big names as possible into the pages, and certain instances were quite clearly sugarcoated to downplay the drama and make himself look better by minimizing his involvement (example: Edie Sedgwick). Not much of a narrative, just vivid memories that Warhol does manage to interweave and bring together into an intriguing tale. I'm neither a Warhol nor New York in the 60s fanatic, but I still found myself interested. Popism definitely held my attention. Recommended.
