Stateside Vacay, Amber Day
Ash did this fun US map puzzle – art by Amber Day, “Stateside Vacay”. Notice the puzzler’s socks and the toe pointing to a missing piece.

eeboo mini “Firefly Party“, Ash and Michele.
Elephantaisy by André Sanchez (Heye 1000)
“Elephantaisy” by André Sanchez, part of the “Fauna Fantasies” series from Heye. This one was steady puzzling, lots of patterns. I ended up slogging through about 75 pieces of leaves at the bottom left of the image, which was probably the most tedious part. Otherwise I had a good time!
Ravensburger “The Reading Room”
A “cozy crowded space” with books kind of puzzle. Satisfyingly cozy. “Ravensburger No. 80 104” — Copyright Eduard, Artist, licensed by MGL. I liked this description: Historically, Reading Rooms were often found in towns and villages and were places where residents could read books and periodicals of the day. The British Museum boasts one of […]
Nancy Drew (Cobble Hill 1000)
I really enjoyed this collage of Nancy Drew book covers. Very relaxing!
Art Cafe by Otar Imerlishvili (Art & Fable 1000)
I really enjoyed this one! Beautiful, fun art, steady assembling. Lots of different patterns, and a fair amount of repetition of the patterns, with slight variants, in different parts of the puzzle. The green horn was what I ended on, and there were a lot of different shades of green to work through. (And of […]
Ravensburger West Coast Tranquility
Every bit as soothing as I had thought it would be. Ah the rocks and the water and the stillness.

Frederick the Literate – Cats of Charles Wysocki
Buffalo Games, “Cats of Charles Wysocki” series, “Frederick the Literate“, 750-piece version. Ash did this 750-piece Buffalo Games puzzle sometime earlier this year, but it’s unclear when; we’re posting this on September 25, 2023, but I’m guessing it was done in the winter/spring earlier this year, so post-dating to May 31.
Ravensburger Space Observatory Escape Puzzle
Ash did this 759-piece Ravensburger puzzle (“Space Observatory Escape Puzzle“) sometime this year, but unclear when; we’re posting this on September 25, 2023, but I’m guessing it was done in the winter/spring earlier this year, so post-dating to May 31. Prevent a flaming comet hurtling toward Earth from destroying the planet by solving the puzzles […]
Lilo and Stitch
Ash finished this 1000-piece “Disney Signature Puzzle” Lilo puzzle, a gift from Mia (thank you Mia!), a while ago — probably around May 23.
Cavallini Arboretum
Enjoyably challenging, requiring real focus on details of tree textures, variation of color, etc. Cavallini has few wrong connections, which I appreciate. Second time I’ve had Cavallini pieces still connected & then tore the paper off one of the tabs while disconnecting. )-8 And, I really wish the original captions had been in English rather […]
Andy Kehoe “Inner Mystic: Wondrous Journey”
This beautiful puzzle (“Inner Mystic: Wondrous Journey” by Andy Kehoe) from Heye proved fairly challenging — not least, because there were so many false matches among the puzzle pieces. I had appreciated the curvier innie-outie pieces, but while the shapes are pleasing, there were too many that mis-matched! Grr. Anyway, the real draw was the […]
