I’m working on putting together our first book retreat for our book club. What’s our book club named? I’m so glad you asked, because I think it’s pretty great: The Literate Lushes! We’re going on thirteen years of book clubbing, which seems pretty incredible. And yet we’ve never done anything more than a Saturday or Sunday brunch. I’ve been wanting to plan one of these for a LONG time, so I was so glad when some members expressed interest in a weekend book retreat. Needless to say, I’ve sent a lot of emails, maybe even a Google Form (I definitely sent out a Google Form)…

I plan on sharing some more details about this planning process and our final weekend plan later on, but for now I want to share: PUZZLES! The idea is to have a puzzle set up somewhere, and people can puzzle if and when they want. It’s crazy how many puzzles you can find, and how many don’t hit the vibe you want. Or how many puzzles don’t have cats or dogs (no offense to those, just not what I was looking for, and HOLY COW, most puzzles have a cat or dog). Or how many puzzles have vintage cars…

I was looking for some that were either book-ish, or giving general cozy vibes. Also, since we’re going in October, I figured some Fall-themed puzzles could work as well. Here are my top favorites:

I haven’t actually completed any of these, but I DID buy Cozy Study and Autumn Cottage for our book retreat. Do you have any favorites from these, or other book-ish puzzles that you’ve loved?
