Everything Beautiful: A Coloring Book for Reflection and Inspiration by WaterBrook

I actually enjoy adult coloring books, but I loathe the ones that have a million petite bits and pieces that need to be colored in. I favor to color using markers for the petite bits and pieces, colored pencils for the main image, and the pages in this book are perfect for those who use markers unaccompanied or accompanied with colored pencils. They are moderately thick, however there is some bleeding onto the back of the page but since each page is single-sided, and this isn't problematic at all. This coloring book was received from Blogging For Books and I also purchased this book from Amazon to give to a friend as a gift.

Marked in Ink by Megan Massacre

This is my first adult coloring book and I must say that Megan Massacre has me addicted. As some of you might know Ms. Megan was on the show NY INK and I must say I loved her work then and I am now in love with her adult coloring book. Some people say " Well isn't it just like coloring in a regualr coloring book. And are you not over 40 don't you think that is a childish act." Um hell no! Coloring has always relaxed me, helped with my anxiety and has taken me way from reality just for a bit to an imaginary place where there is no evil or harm being done to another soul.
I will say that when I got the book there are a couple of images in there I can't bring myself to color. Nothing wrong with them but they hold a special meaning to me. Those images won't be colored until I go out, purchase a couple of these books, and then when they are colored I will frame them and place them throughout my home. The images I am talking about are the following: the heart with keys, the pitbull, the dreamcatcher, the owls, and the ship. The other images I know have meaning behind them for some of my siblings and cousins so these images will be colored, framed and given to them for Christmas gifts.
I am hoping that Megan Massacre will come out with another adult coloring book. Thank you Ms. Massacre for sharing your work with us so we can put our creative spin on them. Also thank you to Blogging For Books for offering this as a freebie.
