Teaser/First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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!

(my copy of this book is in PDF format.  The teaser comes from page 5 of 163.)

The sun was setting, shrouding the construction area in shadows and making me shiver with apprehension. I didn’t believe the body found its way under that gravel pile by accident.

Every Tuesday, Bibliophile by the Sea hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where I share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book she is reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?

Hansum had been watching his younger self for about an hour when Arimus said,

"See, my boy, it's not so hard, and after a while it doesn't seem so odd."

The elder from the 31st century was right.  When Hansum arrived in his own past and saw his ten-year-old self playing in the commons of his 24th century home village, he got the oddest sensation.  He felt queasy and dizzy.  But as Arimus predicted, those sensations were soon replaced with a growing sense of what had made Hansum the you adult he no was.

"Self-knowledge, my boy, self-knowledge," Arimus explained, "You will go back in time and discover the whys and wherefores that made your present therefores."

Do either or both of these look interesting?  Come back on Thursday, May 29th, 2014 for my reviews of both these books!
