TOP TEN: Fall 2018 Puzzles
Hello jigsaw enthusiasts! I’m very, very pleased to welcome September and the start of the Fall season, and I hope you are too. We’ve had a very hot and muggy summer here in Pennsylvania, so cooler weather will be a relief! Not to mention that Fall is my favorite time of year with the changing leaves, sweater weather, pumpkins and corn mazes, apple harvest, and all things Halloween!
Here are my picks of the best Fall puzzles available at Puzzle Warehouse. I’ve chosen brand new puzzles as well as some returning favorites. These are sure to get you in the mood! Let me know your own favorites in the comments. As usual, my “top ten” is a very generous 17.

Hooray for another new Susan Brabeau puzzle from Sunsout! This is one of the best yet, filled with interesting and humorous characters and set on a Fall leaf festooned farm. There’s even a black cat! (Click on the images below to see the puzzle on Puzzle Warehouse.)
BONUS: “Wild Kingdom Shelves”, by Aimee Stewart, Ravensburger (2000 pieces)
Okay, this one is not Fall-themed, but I just saw it on the Puzzle Warehouse website and had to mention it! I loved Aimee Stewart’s 2000-piece “Travel Shelves” (see my review here) and this one looks even better! A must have.
Have a wonderful Labor Day, puzzlers!
