Jonah and the Whale

 Stave, 45 pieces. Cute one-sword Teaser, would be a great intro to the genre. 6/10

Parrots and Parakeets

 Conrad Armstrong, 157 pieces. A nice little puzzle! 4/5

Iris Scott, Nueve Nonatych

 Artifact, 2476 pieces. This is by far the largest puzzle I've ever done, wooden or otherwise, and I highly recommend doing it in stages (which means 3 squares at a time) instead of all at once. It would just be demoralizing otherwise; doing 3 800+ piece puzzles is already a challenge! There are a number of acrylic pieces that serve as connectors, which is cute, as well as a tealight. When assembled, the puzzle also shows a great pattern of of circular cutting that goes through multiple squares, like raindrops on water. 5/5 on technical merit.

at last (moving was a pain but my usual table just wouldn't fit)

Rockin Robin

 Stave, 410 pieces. Colorful picture with steady assembly. 6/10

T+wheat T-wheat

conductor bird

Deer Family

 Puzzlapy, 130 pieces. Nice small puzzle with impressive irregular edges. 4/5 

Liz Goodrick-Dillon, Hummingbird Garden

 Wentworth, 500 pieces. Nice mild colors. 3/5

Wild Women

 Liberty, 495 pieces. This is a custom puzzle made for my husband, who's working on a history of women in transportation planning. Interestingly, the collection he sourced this from says that the pennants the women are waving are "probably" Ivies; it seems to me that the inference is at least as strong as the inference that the people in the picture are women, but there's no "probably" in that part of the description! Anyway, some general transportation themes in the whimsies, though not entirely focused on that--the kites were also charming. 3/5
