Whether the weather where you are gets cold this season or not, given the realities of the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 and no vaccine on the horizon, this is going to be a hard, dark, lonely winter. It might be early to begin thinking about entertaining ourselves in January and February (and March…) now, but the reality is, we know that finding entertainment during the first lockdowns in March of this year was tough. It wasn’t just toilet paper and hand sanitizer in high demand. Finding things like craft kits, board games, and puzzles became tough. The upside to that, though, was companies which make those forms of home entertainment responded to the demand by upping what they offer and now, you can find even more options and availability. Thus, it’s time again to stock up on book puzzles.
This roundup of book puzzles is broken up by piece count, and as of this writing, every single one is in stock. Put your orders in now for yourself or for treating your friends and family to great gifts for the holidays.
Note: if you’re serious about puzzles—however you define serious—or want the opportunity to move your work without hassle, I cannot recommend purchasing a puzzle piece sorter and puzzle board enough. As someone with a lot of cats, this has been a game-changer for not losing pieces, as well as for being able to do the puzzle in fits and starts and knowing that what has been worked on won’t be disturbed. I’d recommend skipping the puzzle boards that allow you to roll up the puzzle. They don’t work neatly, and the investment in a board is smarter.
