Do you Goodreads? Join and find me!


Considering how much I read, I am shocked that I have not talked more about where I post about books I've read, and list the books I want to read. I am always happy to learn more about what others are reading and of course share my thoughts on what I have read. I find bookshelves to be very interesting (and revealing!)

Goodreads is a site for readers to review books, get recommendations, talk about books with others who are interested. You can see what your friends are reading and what they want to read.

The fact that I have two boys who are 6 years apart who are evolving different reading tastes from me and each other means that I am always looking out for good material! 

Goodreads Books my bookshelfGoodreads also has an author program so authors can promote their books and reach their target audience as well as a writing section to get feedback on your writing, from those people, you know, who actually read and buy books.

For comparison of the scale of the Goodreads membership and engagement, the book "Gone Girl" got almost 43,000 reviews on Amazon, but over 113,000 on Goodreads (Amazon has bought Goodreads).

Here are the next few books I'd like to read, and yes, "Eat, Pray, Love" is on there - I've never read it. Hard to believe.


If you don't get it yet, I like books, books and more books! If you want recommendations, and want to see what is on my shelf, go to Goodreads. It is free to join! This blog is listed in my profile.

Happy reading!

See what I am currently reading below.



my currently-reading shelf:
Sally's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (currently-reading shelf)


p.s. I am not getting any $$ for promoting Goodreads.

Food as Medicine & Vitiligo Update

Before I talk about food, a quick: Vitiligo Update It still pisses me off that the hyperactive immune system that attacks my own pigment cells just let cancer sail right on through. Enough rant. Since my cancer diagnosis, my vitiligo has just exploded. It's spread from knees and elbows to legs, face and neck. It bothers me more now. Picture from 2009 Hands now  2016           The growing spread of vitiligo Treatments Topical steroids weren't working and while Latisse (the eyelash drug) worked on one spot above one eye, it does not seem to be helping with the other spot above the other eye. There is a pulsed light treatment I have yet to try, but before I go that route, I want to try the food route. Food as Medicine I've blogged previously as viewing Food as Fuel , the next step is to view food as medicine with the potential to heal some ailments. I've read a couple of books, It Starts with Food and The Paleo Appr...

Weeks 15, 16; Cycles 6 & 7

Another two-in-one post. I think this may be considered my "challenge" post.  The good news is that I have now completed 7 of 12 cycles, so I am looking at the end of chemotherapy. As I look back on my initial post , I realise that I had neglected a key piece of information about the kind of cancer I have.  Some women have cancers that are responsive to hormones, (quite simply, it appears that hormones make the cancer grow) and some women don't. I fall into the latter category - I am what is called triple negative. This is not a good thing. On my most recent visit with my oncologist we talked through "the numbers" that is, the survival rates and we assessed again how well my tumour is responding to chemotherapy (not as well as we'd hoped).  So these last two weeks have been quite a challenge mentally. It doesn't help that one of the side effects of all of this is a decline in disciplinary standards at our house.  Over the course of the summer I w...

Talking with Lucas on climate change

This is my post for Blog Action Day . This is an annual event where bloggers everywhere in the world post about the same issue on the same day to spark discussion around an issue of global importance. This is part of a conversation I had with my 8-year old. Mama : Do you know what climate change means? Lucas : I think it means when it is like 90F and it is hot.   And the change? It's when in the daytime it might be 90F and sunny and hot, and then you go inside for dinner and then right after dinner and it might have dropped to 70F Well, yes it is that in a way.  That describes what is happening in your area, but when people use the term "climate change" they really mean something more global, like affecting climate around the world Have you heard of the team "global warming"? What global warming is that it is made up of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and when they burn stuff the smoke releases CO2 and it's like a blanket covering the earth and if it k...
