Emerald Bookstore

Emerald Bookstore is a 1000-piece puzzle from Villager, and the artist is Tara Younggren. This was a splurge from their spring collection, and I am so happy I got it!

I love this image so much. I am a lifelong bookworm, so combining puzzles and books is always a big hit for me. Villager is also such a great brand. I love the quality of their puzzles.

This one was definitely a challenge but in a very satisfying way. I had to sort by shape to get through the last third of the puzzle, but I never felt truly stuck or frustrated.

I also just hear they are coming out with some 250-piece puzzles soon, and I am excited to see them.

Dream Library

Dream Library is a 1000-piece puzzle from Villager Puzzles, and the artist is Tara Younggren. I was drawn to this image because of how cozy it looks and how it brings together my two favorite things, reading and puzzling!

The bottom portion and the left side of the puzzle were really satisfying to put together, but things got way more difficult when I got to the window scene with all of the foliage. This puzzle definitely taught me that I don’t like foliage. It was incredibly hard and I was tempted to give up several times. I did persevere, however, and eventually finished.

Even with the difficulty level, it is a beautiful puzzle and the quality was excellent. I plan to buy more from this brand in the future.
