Nocturne: On the Life and Death of My Brother | 
True!
pickI picked this up from a used book sale last weekend, because I remembered seeing @Bibliogeekery post about it. I was not disappointed. Nocturne was a raw, haunting memoir about loss and grieving.
I re-read this gorgeous memoir that Helen Humphreys wrote for her brother after he passed away. It's such a stunning and sad and beautiful read.
❤️
pickThis book was so sweet and sad and perfectly the right thing for me right now. Humphreys is so raw and honest about her grief following her brother's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and his death. Nocturne is devastating and beautiful. It's short and heartfelt and not a light read.
"and sometimes this body remembers how to talk to that body, through the static of the years." ?? I know I'm the ultimate superfan but this whole passage is gorgeous! #queerbooks
Love this description of Helen's (look, I'm pretending we're friends now - I WISH) memories of Toronto before I lived there! #queerbooks
Reading with this beautiful view this morning! ☕️
Although I've read every other word Humphreys has written, I've been saving this one because I was never sure I felt up to a memoir about her brother's death. Now that I am dealing with the imminent death of a family member I decided to start it (could go either way in the good idea - bad idea categories). So far it's gorgeous and sad and relatable and seems like the right thing for now. Helen Humphreys 💗
