The Latest Book Rage
post by Michelle Griep
Want to know what the trendiest type of book will be this holiday season? Nope, not dystopian. Nopety-nope to thrillers or vampires or zombies. And a big unh-unh with a side of no-no sauce to epic Amish sagas. The latest craze is coloring books.
Yes, for adults. What's up with that?
Therapy. Most people color for stress release in this crazy town world. But there's also a certain amount of peer pressure going on as well. Folks have started pinning their finished masterpieces on Pinterest or snapping shots of them on Instagram, so now all the cool cats want in on the game. There's even a National Coloring Book Day in August.
These aren't your garden-variety coloring books you doodled in as a kid. Most are intricate, with themes like architecture or botany. Crayola recently put some out with geometric and kaleidoscope themes. Shoot, there's even a Game of Thrones coloring book coming out for Christmas.
Once you decide to purchase one of these books, you can color alone or invite buddies over to art with you. Either way, you'll destress and bring a little color into your life.
