We sell a lot of puzzles! And we love that for a couple of reasons.Â
First off, Colleen is a puzzle junkie!! She loves âpuzzlingâ and she loves curating all the puzzles for the River Bookshop. She does that so successfully that we believe we have the best puzzle selection in all of Essex County.Â
Some of Colleenâs favourites are:

đ§©Â New York Puzzle Company

đ§©Â One for the littles: Crocodile CreekÂ
Second, we love puzzles because of their benefits for mind and body. Here are 10 potential benefits of puzzlingâthink about how many of these apply to your job and daily life.
   đ§©Â great mental exerciseÂ
   đ§©Â better visual-spatial reasoning
   đ§©Â greater attention to detailÂ
   đ§©Â improved memoryÂ
   đ§©Â increased IQ
   đ§©Â improved problem-solving ability
   đ§©Â increased productivityÂ
   đ§©Â better collaboration and teamwork, when you share with someone
   đ§©Â better mood
   đ§©Â decreased stress level (who doesnât need that today?) Â
Another thing we love is a good puzzle sale. Sales help an independent bookshop thrive! So to thank all you puzzlers out there, we are celebrating âNational Puzzle Dayâ (January 29) with a week-long sale starting tomorrow (January 24-29) where all in-store puzzles are 15% off.Â
So please keep on puzzling đ§©
