Archivist O: paperback unboxing & giveaway

These beauties arrived in the mail today! Scroll through for all the pretty pictures.

Shall we do a giveaway? With absolutely no guarantee as to when I will actually get the autographed paperback in the mail? For example, Debbie, who won the release day giveaway at the end of March, still hasn’t been shipped her books (even though they are all boxed and ready to go) (that is how behind I am). Just FYI.

Yes?

Okay then!

Actually lets make it THREE autographed copies … that’s still only one trip to the post office.

COMMENT BELOW (not on Facebook, etc) and let me know that you will give one of these pretty Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0) paperbacks a loving home! I’ll throw in any little extras I have on hand … probably bookplates, etc.

Likes and shares are always welcomed and appreciated.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. One entry per person. THREE winners will be selected by random number generator. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than to contact the winner. No purchase necessary.

The comments are moderated. I will approve your entry just as soon as I have a moment to do so.

Giveaway closes SUNDAY, MAY 02, 2021 at 8pm PDT (giving me time to mention it to my newsletter, because there won’t be a free short this month).

Are you new to the Adept Universe? Book one is Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).

  13. I would so love to give one of these books a good home! I love books and in particular your books! You are so kind to have these give-aways! ❤️🌺

  14. Awakening Infinity would gain a home in a honored spot on my bookcase (from where my adult children and husband would no doubt borrow it from time to time as they are want to do!) Favored books always make their way back home, thank goodness! I wouldn’t want my book friends to be gone forever.

  15. I would love to add this book to my library and promise to give it a very loving home!🤩🤩😍😍

  23. Omg I would love all of these. I have all the others but I had a stroke last year and got behind so I started rereading my cupcakes books I’m so glad to be back 😁

  24. I would love to have a copy of the Archivist signed by you!!! I have read all your books and even have some Fluevogs in my closet now (love them BTW). I am excited about the concept of truly living books and would relish the opportunity to share this with you.

  26. Hi Meghan I would have space and a loving home for any of your books , well read and pampered, the bookworm ❤️

  27. I have a terrific spot in my library. It would look fantastic displayed there for all to see and me to cherish!

  30. Yes, a good and loving home with lots of hand-on time… because it takes me a long time to finish a good read!

  34. I’m so excited about this series I would love to have the first book on my shelf instead of just downloaded on the e-reader!

  35. I would love to give one of these copies a home! It would go on the top shelf of my bookcase, where all my favorites live. ❤️

  36. I would love to give the books a new home. I have limited space but the most important ones will always have space.

  38. I would give it to my daughter who has just recently started the Dowser series and is now on book 3. She is in for an amazing journey with all your series.

  39. Ooo I have a pretty little spot right beside all my happy pens and pretty notebooks. It will be right at home. Can’t wait to get reading soon!

  44. There truly is nothing as lovely as opening a brand new book, except perhaps a quiet place and a cup of tea to enjoy reading it. Reading your books has been a wonderful experience.

  45. I have everyone of your books ( a lot of ebooks) and would love a signed copy of any of them no matter when. I love your books and the universe you created. So I will keep trying. Thank you!

  46. That new book smell. Always slightly different depending on the paper and ink manufacturing. The book and I will become friends and spend long moments of experiencing words together. We will eventually part ways for a time and say hi in passing. Then some day in the future we shall sit together and enjoy the adventures of words again.

  47. Oh my goodness!! They are beautiful! How exciting! So far all my copies have been on Kindle, but there’s definitely something special about holding a book in your hands and physically turning those pages!! I would love to give one of your books a forever home!

  48. I would love to house one of the pretties! I do not mind the wait, with my memory I’ll probably think it was a surprise you sent me because you are so nice and I’m you’re favorite 😂

  49. I will happily give this book a home as I am stuck in doors due to the lock down in Ontario Canada and also being a new mum. Having my daughter of 3months as my only in person interaction during the day until her dad gets home, will add another interaction to my days, something I can touch!!! So, yes this book will be very welcome in my home. 🙏🏾❤️❤️

  50. I would love a hard copy to start a new section of my library. I love reading your books – have read them all more than once

  51. I pre-ordered the kindle copy and love it but would love to have a physical copy as well especially signed! anything that says Megan ciana doidge will always be welcome in my home and will always have my money LOL. Much love ❤️

  52. Ooooo so pretty 😍😍 there is something super special about physical books that, as much as I love my kindle library, no ebook can replicate

  53. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your books – ALL of them! I tell people about them all the time, and if I won I know exactly who I’d share with! Keep writing because I’m definitely waiting on pins and needles for the next book… every single time!

  54. I have “author highlights” on my bookshelf (The rest is done alphabetically, my sister says you can tell I work in a library 😂) and your books are one of the highlights. I’d definitely add this one to the shelf!

  55. I would be happy to give the book a good home! It’s warm, but not too warm, there is some sunlight but not directly on my bookcase so the book would be safe. I would provide a happy home where the book could relax 😁

  56. Such a beautiful cover 😍
    I devoured the Dowser series & would be honoured to welcome one of your treasures to our book loving home here in Australia 😊🐨

  57. I have all Ebooks, I would 💕 LOVE a SIGNED copy of any book that you have written!! Thank you for the chance!

  60. I have all your books as Ebooks. I so love your writing that I have re-read them twice now. I would love to have a sign hard back to keep for ever on my bookshelf for everyone to know who is one of my favorite Arthur is and for them to ask questions about my favorite series.

  61. Oo! I adore all your books, I have all of them on kobo & I want to get all of them in paperback so I can never lose them. My home would be a loving wonderful home 🥰
    Keep writing

  62. I would love to add this beautiful book to my small collection of absolutely favourite books I have in actual paper 🙂

  63. I would give it the best home! Lots of sun light and other books to play with! I’ll take it for walks every day (cause I’ll be reading it as I walk). It would be the happiest book ever!

  64. Love your books Meghan – found them in March this year and have been reading nonstop. I’m going in order and I just finished Amplifier Idols and Enemies. I would give these books a very good home!

  65. Meghan-that was the best story! Dusk and Sisu are my two new favorite characters! I loved the way she treasured books, and the dragon magic was so fun. As a reading teacher, I don’t read enough for pure enjoyment during testing season, but that made my weekend! Thank you for the great writing!

    1. I promise to give one of these pretty Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0) paperbacks a loving home! The cover is beautiful! Excited to read it!

  66. Your books would have a great home with me. I plan on providing this series a home with or without your giveaway.

  67. They are beautiful! I own all of you books as e-books and many of them as audible books too. Now they are so pretty I may just have to buy them as physical books as well. Books are a great investment, I have read all of yours at least 3 times. Gets me through times I need to be cheered up.

  68. Good morning MCD! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I would love a copy of your Awakening Infinity! I would give it a good home. Have been doing some gardening this weekend and today I’m doing some baking (banana muffins) as it is too cold yet for planting outside. Enjoy your day!

  72. I love all of the MCD series! This book would rate a spot next to my Lewis Carroll collection, signed Ann Rice, Deborah Harkness and other rare books.

  74. Thank you for giving us this chance! Signed copy would be a proud possession of any booklover 😁
