Just Started…

Childhood favorites – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

I just started sorting this puzzle, but I am SO looking forward to working on it! My regular readers know how collages are my happy place; and for myself, a voracious reader as a child, assembling these book covers is going to be highly entertaining.

The first piece I saw, once the pieces were dumped out of the bag, was a part of the title from the book Charlotte’s Web. It was a favorite of mine as a child, and I’m not sure I could tell you how many times I actually read it. Re-reading my favorites was something I did often, and happily.

Assembling the covers of my favorite books from childhood is going to be so much fun!

    I love Re-marks collage puzzles as well. So satisfying! I’m originally from New York so I picked the New York collage as my first. Enjoyed it so much.
    Have fun!

    There are a lot of great titles in this puzzle! I was surprised that I read most of them with my children when they were growing up. I don’t see Charlotte’s Web in this puzzle, maybe you saw something else and hoped it was this book?

    Bookish collages are my happy place as well. I have several of the Re-marks ones, which I cherish doing. I also greatly enjoy rereading my favorite books. I just finished rereading To Kill a Mockingbird, which is my wont to do in late October (I switched back and forth from reading it, to listening to the audiobook narrated by Sissy Spacek, which was great – although, I had to give the audiobook enough time to try and purge from my mind the perfect narration that was at the beginning of the movie version).

    From your puzzle pic above, I recently reread Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth (switching between reading it in one of my hardcover editions, and listening to the audiobook version marvelously narrated by Rainn Wilson). That book is a hoot, the doldrums; the symphony orchestra playing the sunset, wherein Alec tells Milo, you don’t listen to this concert you watch it. Now, pay attention; the Word Market in Dictionopolis, etc.

    Charlotte’s Web is another book I reread. My plan is that when I do my Artifact Old Friend puzzle (which is a beautiful spiderweb with a spider whimsy), I’m going to listen to the audiobook of Charlotte’s Web, narrated by a full cast (including Meryl Steep and Robin Miles), while I assemble the wooden puzzle.
