Pretty good personal account of a woman war photographer who came close to death a few times. She was in Afghanistan and other spots and was a captive in Libya. Includes some photos she took.

Lee Miller: A Life | Carolyn Burke

This has been on my shelves since I went to an exhibit about Miller and Man Ray. I think the cover should read “Her Many Lives” instead of “A Life” because this book shows that she was not someone content to stay within the boundaries of expectations. She was a Vogue model, a muse, a photographer, a war correspondent; over and over she reinvented herself and pursued her desires. An interesting look at a complex but important figure. #24in2024

Lots of pie references (a mention of Thanksgiving will usually always have a pie mention.)

“Later, Amanda would remember this as one of the moments when she fell a little out of love with him. Also when he ate the last piece of pumpkin pie for Sunday breakfast.”

Cute and light compared to what I usually read, this was just the break my brain needed. A photographer finds herself financially strapped and rents out her NYC apartment and moves to an unglamorous cabin upstate. She finds many things she thought she lost there. Love me some tales of middle aged reinvention! This sat on my shelf for 7 years!! 😂😂 And I liked it! #roll100
