I went to Barnes and Noble today and although the in store computer showed they had the Disney ones in stock the employee helping me couldn't find them so I ended up ordering them online. Barnes and Noble online has them for cheaper than the list price. I had to get two copies of each so I can color in one and leave one blank.

If it helps, Barnes and Noble seems to be stocking them with the kids coloring books. At least mine is.

I buy kids' coloring books all the time (and sometimes get the adult ones), but I hate that they're always "Coloring and Activity Books" -- come on, I didn't buy this for your bad word searches, I bought it to color pictures!

I already had Lost Ocean. I recently bought some books from the dollar store. They had about 5 different themed ones. Couldn't pass them up for $1. Then I found some $5 ones at Walmart and my daughter bought 1 and I got 2 I think. Different themes. Then I got Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest together with a pack of color pencils on Amazon for an overall price of like $20. Can't wait to get into them. I'll have a very very long flight soon and will bust into a couple during the flight I'm sure

Oh, you guys posted some beautiful pics already

I looooove coloring books too! My birthday was on february 10th and my in-laws gave me a selection of three books plus a box of Faber-Castell colored pencils and my husband gave be a box of amazingly thin fineliners for the really small details <3 I can only say : I LOVE IT! Coloring detailed pictures calms me down, soothes me and is so much fun <3
I had one of those books by Johanna Basford before (Secret Garden). Now I have one with owls, the Doctor Who edition and the Game of Thrones edition. I have only completed an owl pic though, so I dont have much to show. (I can show it later, when Im back from work I guess).

How do you use your books? I promised myself only to start a new pic when I have 100% finished the previous one to prevent me from flipping the pages every now and then lol... I was like that as a kid and never got back to a picture I had started because suddenly I didnt like the colors I used before and so on lol. You know what I mean?

I have a couple of pictures started that I haven't finished yet in different books.

I also got Colorama Magic Path at Barnes and Noble last weekend.

I'd rather have a 'kids' colouring book. Looks far more interesting.

We picked up one of the Harry Potter ones a couple weeks ago, along with some colouring tools. Finally cracked it open this afternoon. Haven't gotten far but enjoying it so far. It's nice and relaxing, can have a movie on in the background and just veg out.

I bought a horse one that one of my online artist friends did for Breyerfest. I cannot go this year, but I ordered one and it should be here soon. I'll be excited to get at it.

Ooh, that sounds like a fun one!

My mom recently bought herself some coloring books and we've been coloring together when I'm visiting.

A moomin coloring book came out this month and I bought it

It's really cute!

I think I may end up changing my mind and give one of these a go. I haven't quite made up my mind which book I want or which medium I want to color in, but if I'm going to do it I'm going to get a book I really like (and have really researched) and a good quality set of colored pencils, gel pens or markers.

I love seeing how everyone's coloring is coming along and how unique and different various peoples' takes on the same drawing can be. I was afraid the details would be too small for me to see, but I got to take a closer look at some books at Costco and that made me feel a bit better about trying one. Maybe I'll grab one there if mom and I decide to go out this weekend.

I have so many adult coloring books now. I love the Lisa Frank ones.

The trend popped up over here about a year ago, so it's still pretty new. I love the fact that adult coloring books seem to be of such great quality, just book-wise

The paper and binding is always really nice, and the designs are well thought-out. But the prices!!
Also, the mandala coloring book for adults I have has some motives in it that are just to intricate and tiny to color in. I think I might just stick to mandala coloring books for kids. They're not as pretty on the outside, but they're a lot cheaper and I can actually color everything!

My boyfriend's mom gave me "The Garden of Time" by Daria Song for Easter, and I've been loving it

Coloring in the tapestries on the walls takes forever, but I like that I can use more realistic colors and explore a nice story while coloring.
