Dark Academia – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

When this puzzle was started what I really wanted was a book cover collage, good thing I had just received a BIG order of mostly collage puzzles. This one jumped out as the one begging to be put together; thankfully it was highly entertaining and exactly what I was hoping for.

Re-marks is right up there with White Mountain as far as having an excellent catalog of collage images – I want almost all of them! The quality is quite good, and the interesting piece shapes and good fit make them great fun for me to assemble.

As I mentioned when I posted an in progress update on this puzzle, there’s only one book in this collection of 50 that I’ve read – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. There are a few classics here; Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wuthering Heights, etc., but many of them are much newer releases. Regardless, it was surprising that 49 of these I haven’t read. It doesn’t matter much though, what was most important to me was how the covers looked in the image and how much fun it was to assemble.

Being the only book in this whole image that I’ve read, it seemed a shame not to show the cover. Seeing this reminds me of the set of Harry Potter book cover mini puzzles my daughter gifted me one year for Christmas. They were so fun to assemble and makes me want to get them off the shelf and start putting them together again. ❤

I’ve never heard of this book, but in addition to it being a fun cover to assemble it’s got a quote from a favorite author at the top – Margaret Atwood. Maybe it’s one I should look into!

Isn’t this just a beautiful book cover? The colors are exquisite! It was one of the first ones I noticed when I was sorting, just stunning. 😍

This puzzle was such fun that I didn’t want it to end and found myself taking extra breaks so that it wouldn’t be over too soon. Even the sorting didn’t seem as tedious and endless as it usually does for me. An excellent puzzle all around that I would happily put together again. Loved it!

Classic Sitcoms – Re-marks – 1000 pieces

This puzzle went quickly once I slogged through the sorting, which I find to be the worst part of puzzling – but for me it makes the rest so much more entertaining – that’s why I do it. At the time I’m typing up this post the virus still hasn’t fully let go of me, so it took a while to get through the sorting and putting together the edges. Once I made it thru the boring sorting and was able to actually start on the inside assembly it seemed to fly together.

Collages really are my happy puzzle place, and this one was no different. It looked like such fun it had to be the first one I assembled once my huge puzzle order arrived. If you can believe it, I’m old enough to have seen at least one episode of every single sitcom shown – except one. The Wonder Years never made it to my screen, it was just never my cup of tea. But I’ve seen every other show! I Love Lucy was already off the air before I was born, but most people my age have seen at least an episode or two, it’s been in re-runs forever.

It was a little more challenging than I thought it would be, but not too bad at all. The entertainment factor was high though and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. There were some easy to pick out sections like Bewitched, Mary Tyler Moore, I Dream of Jeannie, etc. Once those were done I picked out all the words, then the pieces with a bit of the white frame around each section, and then there weren’t many pieces left and they all seemed to jump right into the puzzle very quickly!

As per usual I picked out a couple to show you close up, shows that myself and my family really loved. Also, check out how clean and clear the pictures are close up, the image reproduction on this puzzle was excellent…

M*A*S*H was a favorite when I was younger, and my oldest son (the lover of all things movie/tv related) loves to watch the show with me as well. We’ve seen every episode, and it brings back many good memories. I remember the whole family gathered to watch the final episode of the series back in 1983. Seemed like the whole of America stopped to watch it too as I remember there being a whole lot made in the press about it being the most watched tv episode ever. After I typed up the previous sentence I checked the internet and according to my googling it still reigns as the most watched tv episode in US history – that’s amazing!

Soap was a favorite of mine and Mom’s; it makes me think of her.💕It was a satire/spoof of soap operas and was so over the top and stupidly funny that we absolutely LOVED it! Someone gifted me a box set of the entire series (there were only 3 seasons unfortunately) and Mom and I used to love to watch it together. I still have it though we barely watch DVDs anymore with all the streaming these days. Soap isn’t available on any of the streaming services, so thankfully whenever I need a good laugh it’s easy enough to pop in one of the discs and reminisce. Soap is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time, so I’m glad it was included in this collage.

This puzzle was a great time, and if you’re looking for a few hours of entertainment I can highly recommend it. Very good quality and an excellent image for puzzling!
