Este MacLeod, Lily Pond

 Artifact/Ecru, 236 pieces. Punches above its weight (piece count) in difficulty because of the swirling cut. 3/5

The Old Lady in the Shoe

 BCB Puzzles, approx. 150 pieces. A nice Teaser-type puzzle. 4/5

New Yorkest

 Loubud, 256 pieces. New Yorker covers make pretty good puzzles! Still waiting for the Saul Steinberg New Yorker's eye view of the world one, though. 4/5

Statue of Liberty

Rainbow Swirl

 Puzzly, 250 pieces. A bit underwhelming--thin wood with noticeable scorch marks, which made the rainbows less rainbow-y, and unthemed whimsies. But it all fit together and the color did kind of make sense with the dark parts of the image, so it wasn't unpleasant. 2.5/5

Boot Camp

 Stave, 62 pieces. Some of the connections on this teaser were hard to identify the proper fit for, possibly because of repeated assembly, but it was still fun. I loved that the outline of the frame was itself boot-shaped. 6/10

Frogs

 Loubud, 246 pieces. This one features amazing dropout work, as well as some cute whimsies with frogs trying to catch the dropout flies. 6/10 Stave scale

Net of Being

 Puzzle Lab, 427 pieces. Sadly, this one was too much effort even for me, and I like looking for small differences. The cut pattern is repetitive enough, and the laser-cutting not fine enough, so that it is often really hard to tell whether a match is correct. 2/5

"April 4, 2022" (New Yorker cover)

 Stave, 410 pieces. A lot of color line cutting, unsurprisingly. I found it rewarding and a Spiderman whimsy is what every NY-themed puzzle needs. 8/10

I love the creepy clown eyes

Magic Bus

 Elms, 479 pieces. Wonderful cheery colors! Also some nice musical note dropouts. 7/10

The Keystone State

 Stave, 65 pieces. Another state for my collection to celebrate my daughter's upcoming matriculation. 6/10
