Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II | Wil S. Hylton

pick

Another book I never would have read if it weren‘t for a Litsy challenge. In this book a hobbyist searches for the missing people in #Palau - the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. I found this short book to be very interesting. #ReadingOceania24

Librarybelle I love how these challenges help us find new-to-us authors and books! 1mo

BarbaraBB One of the bloodiest battles? Who would have thought. It‘s always refreshing and important to read about such events 1mo

Karisa Beautiful place with a sad past… I didn‘t know much of that history. I‘d only heard of this island nation when watching an old season of Survivor this summer. 😅 So interesting! Thank you for sharing! 3mo

Librarybelle Thanks for sharing! 3mo

Some of the fiercest battles in the Pacific in WWII were over #Palau. In the 1990s, a successful entrepreneur and scientist found his life‘s calling to find the planes that had been shot down over the island and bring closure to many families who still had MIAs. As with his bioengineering business, his mission succeeded and this is part his story as well as a son who never knew his father, a gunner on one of the downed planes. #readingOceania

so-so

With apologies to @rockpools this is a war story that takes place 60 years after the war. Narrative non-fiction that speaks to the need for closure for MIA families. I did get some Palau flavor such as it is a matrilineal society but largely the book read to me of two huge foreign nations fighting over and destroying a tiny island culture. #readaroundtheworld #palau

rockpools That sounds very sad, on lots of levels Love the photo, though. 3y

Simona I was hoping to read this book, but sounds too sad for me now ... so I guess I‘m stuck with my original pick

My favourite book model and reading companion Mia has disappeared a week ago... by now I‘ve lost pretty much all hope that she‘ll return... she has been my cat for more than ten years, from my early teen years on, so obviously I‘m devasted and immensely sad 😢

Mitch Hey - don‘t loose hope. We‘ve had our cats go on walk about for a while...she may well have gone on an adventure and forgotten about time... keep hopeful. Sending you love 💕🙏💕 6y

TiredLibrarian We had a cat go missing for 8 or 9 days & come back. I know it's nerve-wracking, but don't lose hope! 😿😺 6y

Soubhiville I also had 2 cats who each left for 7-10 days and eventually came back. I hope your baby will return! 6y

MicheleinPhilly ☹️Litter box outside sometimes helps. I‘ll keep my fingers crossed. 🤞🏼 6y

Cailey_Mac Put her kitty litter box outside. They usually smell that and come back! 6y

glitterkitty459 So sad😭 I had a cat get lost for over a month, but we got him back! Put up signs everywhere. 🙏💕 6y

CatLass007 😢🐈😢🐈😢 6y

erinreads Oh no! 😿 I hope Mia returns home soon! 6y

Mollyanna Oh no! Fingers crossed that Mia returns soon. 🤞🐈🤞 6y

BooksAtNight Don‘t lose hope! Put up flyers everywhere and definitely try putting her litter box outside. Also, I would keep calling animal shelters and/or rescue groups in the area. Sometimes they don‘t always connect the dots between a missing cat and a cat they found. At the very least they may be able to help spread the word about her! 6y

CouronneDhiver Hopefully she comes back home 6y

CareBear Like others have said, I have also lost a cat for weeks who eventually returned. Keep positive! 💜 6y

I went on to my Goodreads account today and this happened. All of my books have disappeared!!!

Has anyone else had this problem? I've emailed them and am awaiting a response, so frustrating!

ReadingVampire It happened to @kim.guernsey too! 7y

Bambolina_81 @Puredragonstar I've been on GR since 2009 so that's a lot of books especially as this has been my primary book log grrrrr 7y

ReadingVampire 🤭oh nooooo!!! Maybe it's not all gone perhaps it's just the app? Have you checked the actual site? (edited) 7y

ReadingVampire It's been my primary way of book logging too... (edited) 7y

Bambolina_81 @Puredragonstar Thank you, that was a good idea! I just checked the desktop site and my books are listed under 'All' and not separated out on to my usual shelves. Strange but better than a total wipeout I guess! Thank you for the suggestion :) 7y

ReadingVampire You're welcome I hope the app gets fixed and everything returns to normal!!! I just asked everyone for suggestions on new ways to keep track of the books maybe to have a backup. I would hate for you or anyone to loose all the hard work its tough remembering what you have read over the years. 7y

Leftcoastzen OMG! Gotta check , though I have kept a written record as well for years 7y

Redwritinghood Thank goodness, no. This would freak me out. (edited) 7y

minkyb Ugh oh. Need to go check. 7y

ferskner I did, but it looks back to normal now. 7y

Anyone read this? Picked it up at the Little Free Library at the Hollygrove Farmers Market tonight. I love these kind of stories.
