This was my very first puzzle of 2019 – I like to do a small puzzle on New Year’s Day so that I can start and finish the whole puzzle to start the year off right. Luckily this year my beautiful daughter gave me this set of seven 100 piece puzzles. They are so much fun!
I appreciate the adult-type difficulty level in a 100 piece puzzle and I love the Harry Potter books, so these puzzles make me doubly happy – and they help me keep up with having enough puzzles to post too. 😉
If you didn’t already figure me for a puzzle nerd, guess what? I’m a book nerd too! I love reading ❤ Some of my favorites are great book series – all the Little House books, the Clan of the Cave Bear series, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, and definitely Harry Potter!
In fact, I’ve read all the books in all of those series several times – but there’s something magical about the Harry Potter books (no pun intended) – they’re comforting, exciting, funny, sad, sweet, scary, and just about everything you need for a great read. And with this FABULOUS gift my daughter gave me for Christmas I’ve got both of my nerdy passions together!
I’ve only put together two of these so far, but the quality is even better than the last NYPC puzzle I assembled; thick pieces with a nice fit, and first rate image reproduction. They’re all 100 pieces and they’re all going to be great fun!
Now I’m wondering what other book covers would be great puzzle art, hmmmm. All the Little House covers would be so entertaining for me – I adore every one of those books. Any other ideas?
There’s something about the look of magazine cover puzzles that I absolutely love. The vintage covers are interesting and beautiful and make for a nice change from landscapes and other “usual” puzzle images.
This is my first NY Puzzle Company puzzle, and I enjoyed it very much. There was a large amount of puzzle dust, but otherwise I found the quality to be quite good. The random cut made it challenging and fun, the pieces were thick and fit together well, and the matte finish helped make sure that the darker areas weren’t too difficult to assemble under lights.
The Vogue covers by William Bolin are striking and beautiful, and any of them would make some challenging and wonderful puzzles. Here are a few of my favorite Vogue covers of his from the 1920’s and 1930’s – they’re stunning!
I had a great time with this assembly; the blocks of color, musical score, and darker areas made for a great balance of ease and challenge. The cut was much more random than some brands, and made for some excellent gray cell exercise. Many times you think you’re looking for a certain shape, and it turns out that you’re actually looking for 2 smaller pieces that are not shaped how you thought at all. It keeps you on your toes!
I’m looking forward to working more puzzles from this brand, this one was good quality – and a good time. What else could I ask for?
