Puzzle Books from Alpha Books - GIVEAWAY!

Hello, friends! I have a super fun giveaway for you all today! Do you love puzzles? Things that make your mind start turning and challenge you to see things in a new way? Then this is PERFECT for you! I received copies of three fabulous puzzle books from Alpha books to review AND they are giving one of you the SAME set of books!!!

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Picture Puzzles, Vol. 2 was my personal favorite of the three books that were sent. Do you remember doing the picture puzzles in Highlights Magazine as a kid? You know, where you had to find all of the differences in the two similar pictures? Well, that is EXACTLY what these puzzles are like, only for grown ups! They are wonderfully challenging and a lot of fun, too! I like how the book includes varying levels. The puzzles are clear and well printed and a lot of fun to play!

The Hubbums, on the other hand, is a logic man! He LOVES logic puzzles! Of course, being that he has a degree in philosophy and had to take several logic classes and is currently considering heading to law school, well...yes...he loves a good, challenging logic puzzle. LOL! This book was great for him! He found the more difficult puzzles to be challenging and fun and the lower level puzzles were just good practice!

The third book is a Sudoku book! Sudoku is super popular and I know a lot of people will find this to be their personal favorite!!!

Overall, the books are really well put together and a lot of fun! I was surprised at just how much we have been enjoying them! These would be PERFECT books to take for a day on the beach this summer! I plan on packing my picture puzzles for my next beach day! They are also great to toss in your carry on for in-flight entertainment, or to have in the car for road trips!
