National WordSearch Day may have taken place in January (yes, it’s a thing) but for those of you who enjoy the puzzles, we have some fun books for you — and the best part is they have a soap opera twist! Not only that, they’ll provide you with a distraction during those pesky commercials or live TV scenes that you’d rather fast-forward but can’t.

And who doesn’t like a good word search, especially when you’re challenged to look for the names of characters you love — or love to hate, the towns they live in, people they’re related to and so much more?!

We picked out a couple of books that fit the bill so join us as we take a closer look at five of them below…
