Here are a couple of sentences from page 56: (56%)
“I didn’t mean to, Rachel,” Borne said, pleading. “I didn’t mean to hurt him. I wasn’t going to hurt him. You startled me, Rachel. You made me.”
Book Beginnings:
I found Borne on a sunny gunmetal day when the giant bear Mord came roving near our home. To me Borne was just salvage at first.

I’ve seen this book around and always thought the cover on the left was nice. Borne sounds pretty interesting.
Hi Breana, Borne’s definitely an intriguing character!
Sounds like a cool dystopian, Sassy. This is a new one for me, loving the premise 🙂 Here’s my Friday post if you’re interested Inspiration Pie

Thanks, Jo-Ann. I will definitely pop by! 🙂
I’ve been thinking about trying this! Happy reading!
Hi Lauren! Hope you do, and enjoy it, too!
I prefer the left cover. Sounds like a groovy read! Happy weekend! x
As for the IG post. You can embed by going to your profile on a pc. Click on the pic you want to share. You will see 3 dots at bottom, click on it and hit embed for code. Easy peasy!
Ah!! Didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip. Hope you had a lovely weekend, too!
This book sounds like nothing I have ever seen before and it sounds really intriguing. I actually like both of the covers, but if I had to choose, I would pick the one on the right. I hope that you enjoy this one. 🙂
Thanks, and I did 🙂
I’m so intrigued by that Borne cover on the left. It looks like a strange version of a bird of paradise flower. Also that excerpt made me really scared of whomever this Borne person is.
Both covers are cleverly designed. And that’s the thing about Borne, he’s unpredictable.
