The Catch Me If You Can

The Catch Me If You Can: One Woman's Journey to Every Country in the World | Jessica Nabongo

#NewYearNewBooks

Not really a new book for me as I read in for review in the summer of 2022 but one that #InvolvesJourney as the author is the first Black woman on record to visit all 195 countries in the world. It‘s a big, beautiful travel book to enjoy & armchair journey through. 🌎 🗺️

I finished this book weeks ago but it was exactly what I needed at the time because I had been planning a big solo trip to the east coast by myself to celebrate my birthday, and reading about Jessica's travels to every country in the world was very inspiring. I didn't agree with everything she did and she seemed to get into some places by sheer luck, but she has some fascinating stories and she inspired me to do more and see more 💙🌍💙

Hey littens! I haven't posted in a little while but I'm currently in catch up mode so I will be posting some reviews of my latest reads in the next few days. I've also been catching up on #litsylove so if you haven't heard from me in a while expect a letter soon 🤗 I've been pretty good about not buying books for myself but I recently splurged cuz I've been working hard and deserved a treat. I'm so excited to dive into these new reads 🤩

LiteraryinPA Wash Day is cool! I heard the author speak and that made it more meaningful too. 2y

CaliforniaCay @LiteraryinLawrence that's awesome! She seems like she'd be really cool in person. That was the first one from my stack that I read, I gobbled it up in one sitting 🥰 2y

For book tour review, I‘m not quite finished with this one as I am savoring it by reading about a few countries a day, but I already know it‘s a pick. Big, beautiful travelogue by the first documented woman to travel to all 195 UN-recognized countries. Here she focuses on 100 countries that make her heart “smile.” An interesting perspective, Jessica was born in Detroit to Ugandan parents so she feels that ⬇️

Clwojick, Andrew65

DebinHawaii …her “Blackness combined with her Africanness” give her a different perspective than the white men who are mostly frequently documented as visiting all the world‘s countries. Sad but not surprising to note some of her scariest travel stories happened in the U.S. due to her race. But this book is really a celebration of the world & a beautiful one at that! (I am obsessed with the photo of her beautiful Ugandan grandmother on the collage. 💕) (edited) 3y
