The Christmas Library jigsaw puzzle from Ravensburger

I do love a Christmas jigsaw. I tend to acquire a new one almost every year, and I try make the time to complete each one in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The final one needs to be finished before Christmas day, because I like to spread my jigsaw board out on the dining room table and so I need it out of the way before we eat Christmas dinner! This year I've been lucky enough to receive a couple of new Christmas jigsaws to review from Ravensburger, and today I'm sharing with you the gorgeous The Christmas Library (affiliate link), a 1000 piece puzzle depicting a bookshelf stuffed with classic Christmas books.

I just love all the bright colours in this jigsaw, and because each book cover is generously sized it wasn't difficult to pick out some of the more obvious titles and get started. It wasn't too easy though, there are lots of similar looking sections and some areas were quite challenging. For example, I normally start a jigsaw with the edges, but I hadn't even found all the edge pieces until I was well into completing it! 

Like all Ravensburger puzzles the pieces are sturdy and slot together nicely. They also have a lovely smooth finish which doesn't produce too much glare underneath an overhead light - important as at this time of year you don't get much daylight.

I loved all the festive images, not just on the book covers but also little Christmas decorations and trinkets scattered across the shelves that were fun to spot and piece together. It's definitely a Christmas jigsaw that will put you in the mood for the season, and there's a good chance that it will also inspire you to dig out some classic Christmas reads!
