Off Topic Adult Coloring Books

I wonder if any of you have noticed that Adult Coloring Books are all the rage. How dumb was I. I could have printed out copies of my "Know Your Fig" coloring book and made a fortune. Dang It. Makes you want to eat a Madiera crayon.

Yea - im confused about the whole thing. I guess its because book companies are losing all their money due to the digital world (tablets/phones) that kids dont color anymore, they want to find a new audience for them to find income with. Its a good move business wise, but who knows if the trend will stick. My mom now wants me to get her coloring books, so i'll buy her and my almost 2yr old daughter together

It's actually a great therapy technique to de-stress, focus, and calm. I don't personally use them (I prefer good single-malt scotch and fine cigars), but the rest of the people in my house color beautiful mandalas and other highly detailed and intricate pages in their coloring books.

My 8 yo and 3 yo 'introduced' me to coloring books and it has been a very relaxing and fun little hobby.
