Coloring books for adults have been having their moment for the past few years (some even date back to the 1960s!). We’re loving every creative minute of it. They’re such a great way to relax that doesn’t involve turning on some mindless reality TV (although there’s a time and place for that too). But if you’re like us, you might be getting a little sick of books full of swirly patterns. As gorgeous as they are, one can only color so many mandalas before craving something new. If that sounds like you, scroll through to see eight new and super original coloring books!
