Jigsaw Puzzle

 

We are in a cold snap where the temps during the warmest part of the day won't be above zero.  Even the ski hill closed for the day.  A good time to work on a jigsaw.  I just finished this one.   It's called 'Mayhem at the Library' and it's a game and a jigsaw all in one.  The background is a library but the characters are acting out book titles.  For example: the cat wearing a beanie and strolling across the top of a book case is The Cat in the Hat. Sometimes the characters interact.  A horse confidentially speaking into the ear of a man dressed in a red cape and sitting across the table from a woman are two books: The Horse Whisperer and Interview with a Vampire.  The outside of the box states there are 101 book titles depicted.  Once I finished assembling it I wrote down the books I recognized.    Volunteering at the library helped but I still could list only a few over 50.   The answers are on a website set up by the puzzle's creator.   Did well with the ones I knew.  Slapped my forehead on the ones I should have known.   A few books I'd never heard of.    Disagreed w/ the answer list on only one.   Personally I think the set of green teeth w/ prominent white canines could just as easily be Jaws instead of White Fang.
