Teaser Tuesdays #2


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Title: My Fight/Your Fight
Author: Ronda Rousey (Author), Maria Burns Ortiz (Contributor)

Here are my two teasers from Chapter One, Why I Fight (Loc 124 on Kindle eBook):
"To be a fighter, you have to be passionate. I have so much passion, it’s hard to hold it all in. That passion escapes as tears from my eyes, sweat from my pores, blood from my veins."
"I can take a hit without batting an eyelash, but I will burst into tears if a sad song comes on the radio. I am vulnerable; that’s why I fight."
My Thoughts:
This book was just released today and I purchased the Kindle book as soon as I woke up. Ronda Rousey has been such a huge inspiration for me since she hit the UFC Octagon in 2013. I've only read the first few chapters of this book and it's so AMAZING already. I only stopped reading to write this post. I'll have a full review up once I'm done.

Have a great Tuesday!

    I'd like to know more about this book. Although I generally am not interested in boxing or wrestling, it sounds like this book has an interesting main character.
    My Tuesday post features THE OTHER SIDE OF HEARTACHE.

      The book is a memoir. Ronda Rousey is an MMA champion and more recently an actress. I've enjoyed what I've read so far, but I'm also a huge fan. What I've liked the most is the impact that her mother has had on her life and successes thus far. Thanks for commenting!

    that's a . . . normal reason to fight? To become less vulnerable?

      Thanks for stopping by! Your book sounds really intriguing. I'm really into zombie books/stories, I'll have to check it out.
