Ten Steps To Nanette: A Memoir Situation ~ Hannah Gadsby (2022)
I loved Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette on Netflix in 2018. I loved it because it made me laugh, and it made me cry. I loved it because it was not strictly a comedy show, and it was relatable and it spoke to me in a way that stand up comedy rarely does.
Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation was just as amazing as I hoped it would be. Just like Nanette it was funny, and sad, and traumatic, and relatable. It was one of the best memoirs that I have ever read, and that is saying a lot. As is my wont when a book is especially engaging, I read all 378 pages in one day, and know that I will read it again, likely even again this year.
If you are looking for a really, really good book, or if you are a fan of Hannah Gadsby’s, I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Ten Steps To Nanette. (2022)
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
