I have always enjoyed doing a jigsaw puzzle. It tends to be a Christmas tradition for me. Sitting and watching Christmas movies while connecting pieces together. For this year I wanted to do a Halloween themed puzzle. There are so many cute ones.

My first puzzle is from Galison by the artist Michael Storrings.

I like Michael Storrings artwork. It is cute and whimsical. I have several of his puzzles. This puzzle took me 2-1/2 days and was pretty easy to do.

Some pieces were tricky but mostly I could spot where a piece belonged. The cool thing about this puzzle is it Glows in the Dark.

I am a bit particular about my jigsaw puzzles. I do not like thin pieces that twist out of shape. I also like pieces that firmly connect. So this next one I did was a bit problematic.

It is from Professor Puzzle called their library collection. Each puzzle looks like a book and is taken from literature, They have Pride and Prejudice, the Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Jane Eyre to name a few. One side of the puzzle is the picture, the other side is a page from the book.

This puzzle only took an afternoon but one of the pieces got torn. It had odd shaped pieces that were flimsy. I like the concept of the literary themed puzzle but was not happy with the flimsy pieces. However it did not stop me from completing the puzzle pretty quick.

The brand of puzzle I prefer is Springbok and Buffalo and Ravensburger. I am sure there are plenty of good puzzles out there but I know these will be a good experience.
