Reader’s Paradise Puzzle

I love doing puzzles, but I really had a love/hate relationship with this “Reader’s Paradise” one! Love because when I had time to do it, I made good progress and enjoyed it. Hate because it took me so long to do – when I bought it over a year ago I didn’t realize how many pieces this puzzle was! I started doing this puzzle in late January and it took me forever because I didn’t know how many pieces it was, I was busy with work, then I had my surgery and thought I’d be able to finish it while recovering at home only to end up back at the hospital for a few days and then spent almost a week after being discharged staying with my parents. So, I only finished it earlier this week!

I will say I am extremely thankful I bought this puzzle board before I started this puzzle because I had not anticipated this puzzle taking me a month and a half to complete and with it being so large it was key to be able to move it off my dining table. Plus, with it being so large it was nice to be able to swivel the board!

Here are some progress photos!

I do love all the detail in the puzzle, but at the same time all the detail was a pain to try to put together! I’ll be taking this puzzle apart today, putting it away, and making space on my dining table for a little while before I begin another puzzle.
