Title: Fun, Challenging Puzzles
Review: I enjoyed the challenging nature of the puzzles but also the fact that the puzzles are current with their clues and answers.The best puzzle books are the NYT series of Fridays and Saturdays. Im working on #9 in the series.

Title: Slightly Easy Set of Saturday puzzles
Review: This is a fun book! The puzzles seemed to be on the easier side for Saturday puzzles but still provided a nice challenge. I was able finish about 75% of them completely without looking for answers in the back. Most of them took me 2-3 days to finish during my downtime. This book lasted me about 2 months.I've been doing NY Times puzzles for about 20 years now. Definitely not a starter book if you're not familiar with NY Times crosswords (I recommend a Monday or Tuesday book for beginners).

Title: Post Surgery Activity
Review: I purchased this for a friend recovering from major surgery. It kept her entertained while she was forced to rest. When you crave something to slow down and enjoy, pick up a book like this. It’s a good throw back to the times when we didn’t have our phones glued to our hands.

Title: challenging, hubby enjoyed
Review: My husband absolutely loved this book. Pleasantly challenging but not so hard that he gave up. Also the spiral helps the book to lay flat and the text and the squares are not too small. Good purchase but I don't know if the Friday or Sunday books will be equally as challenging for him. Guess we won't know until we try them.

Title: Some of these are really hard!
Review: I’m a major fan of the New York Times crosswords, edited by Will Shortz. I purposefully chose this book because I read that the Saturday puzzles are the hardest ones of the week. I realize now that I like the Wednesday and Thursday puzzles the best because for me they aren’t too easy or too hard. These, on the other hand, were difficult to the point that I had to look up a lot of answers online. I didn’t feel too bad doing that, because you can remember an answer you looked up for when it appears again in another puzzle, which it most likely will. But there were so many that looking them up was kind of a pain. I have finished all but a couple of the puzzles in the book now. The paper is a good quality so that multiple erasures didn’t damage it. For me personally, I don’t think I would order another book of Saturday puzzles. But others might find it just right for them.

Review: I wanted to give it 4 stars but that wouldn't be fair simply because I'm not as smart as I thought! :)Saturdays' New York Times are a real challenge; I give myself a break by completing a different (read easier) crossword in between these. I knew they would be more difficult going in, so totally accept my capabilities and choice.

Review: I’m a big fan of NYT crosswords but I finish them faster than my Saturday paper can handle. This book is full of some really challenging puzzles that I spent a lot of time working through. The binding of the book is nice as it allows the book to lay flat open on its own for ease of puzzling!
