Congratulations ye mighty Meanderers!
A full-on fabulous 19 folks made it to the finish line and will receive magnets via mail (one of these days soonly). As we get ready to send the design off to Vortex Industries for replication at our famed factories in the beating heart of old town Poznan, here’s a peek at what this was all about.
I mean yes, there was the book itself, which I think everyone agrees was way too well-timed for this unsettling moment. And yes again, there was the fact that the word “Meander” somehow made an unexpected appearance in the third sentence of the week 6 section — a fact first noted by Itto Ogami in the comments. And sure, there was the exceptional back and forth in said comments. Always a joy on these journeys, but especially appreciated this go around.
Still, you were drawn to this adventure by the promise of a free magnet, and a free magnet you shall have.
All 19 winners will receive this spectacular magnetized collectible, featuring collage and design by Meanderer elisabeth beller and images from MohammadHosein Mohebbi, Jakub Nawrot, Valentin Salja, and Jason Rosewell.
Your friends will be envious and your enemies will be confused!
Plus: something to hum to whilst adhering said magnet to your refrigerator! Way back in week 1, Meanderer Neil invited folks to share “the 80s tune you think of when you consider what we’ve read so far.” So-called Bill recently turned this into a Spotify playlist that’s open for editing — please drop by and add in any songs we missed.
I’m overwhelmed! Where do we go from here?? The votes are in and the next Meander will feature Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin, starting Sunday April 5. Shipping is a tad slow at the moment, but Kindle and audio books are available now. If you’re so inspired, I’d love to have you along for the ride. Feel free to chime in below if you are interested in the journey….
Thanks for all and hope to see you on the trail soon….

Awesome magnet! And I am stoked for the next magnet that I will earn after an enjoyable meander in this most excellent company 🙂 Thank you, Cecil, for some well-timed distraction!
The magnet looks amazing and I’m very excited for the next meander!
I’m drawn to meander, and the magnet! Powerful forces you wield, Cec.
Enjoyed my meandering, and the magnet looks good!
Try to join for the next trip
Count me in, Cecil. I’ll be ready to go for this next go-round.
Hey here fellow Meanderererers…looking forward to finally reading some Atwood prose. I’ve cleared a spot for the WN magnet on my fridge- 6 ft apart from its neighbor of course!
Cheers
Meandering and loving the magnet – see you on the next journey.
Well played, Kathy.
Can’t wait for the magnet, Cecil. It will go next to all my Deathmarch magnets and mugs! Count me in for Atwood.
A fine magnet indeed. I’m in!
Nice magnet!
I’m practicing commenting, getting in shape for the next meander.
And: it is a nice magnet.
