11 Awesome Adult Coloring Books You Need To Own
Bustle

Unless you have been living under a rock or have managed to miss the craze entirely, adult coloring books are a thing. Like a serious trend right now. Most people might not want to admit it but these coloring books are pretty awesome. Most of their success could be attributed to their calming and stress relieving qualities. I bet most of us haven’t legitimately used crayons, colored pencils or markers since elementary and middle school. These coloring books are everywhere and are selling like crazy. They were being sold back in 2012 but they didn't pick up traction until about a year ago. Any bookstore, Wal-Mart/Target, or grocery store you walk into will have some sort of coloring book.

So if you have not jumped on coloring book train or you are already on it and want something different than flowers and mandalas, here is a list of 11 of the coolest (in my opinion) coloring books on the market!

1. Wizards, Witches and Horcruxes! Oh My!

Have you ever wanted to make Hedwig bright pink or purple? Or maybe get Dobby out of those drab brown pillowcase “clothes”? Then grab the Harry Potter coloring book and bring back happy memories of magic and mystery.

Buy it here.


2. Color Me, Precious!


Middle Earth soars through the pages of The Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy coloring book. Journey through the beautiful landscapes of Middle Earth while coloring Frodo, Gandalf the Gray and Gollum! Buy it here.


3. A Lannister Always Colors in the Lines.

Winter is Coming! And it can be any color you want it to be! Grab The Official Game of Thrones coloring book with original illustrations from George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire. (Minus all the ta-tas).

Buy it here!


4. Merc with a Marker!

Hey guys, Deadpool here. You should definitely get this coloring book over all the others just based on the pure sexual energy exuding from it. I mean... You can color me whatever color you want- wherever you want. ;)

Buy it here!


5. No Soggy Bottoms Here!


Most of us have seen the beautiful cakes, pies and breads baked by our beloved British bakers. Now you can color those beautiful bakes in The Great British Bake Off (Show for the Americans) coloring book! On your marks. Get set. Colour!!


Available November 15, 2016 Pre-order it here!


6. F*CK Those Flowers!

This may be one of my favorite concepts of a coloring book. Take our your anger by coloring all of our favorite swears, "F*ck", "Bullsh*t" and my personal favorite "D*uche".

Buy it here!


7. Crayola 96-Pack is the new Black!

Channel your inner fashionista with the beautiful illustrations of the Vogue coloring book. It takes the illustrations from the past Vogue issue covers and makes them available for your creativity!

8. Truth, Justice and the Power of Crayons!


Color the bold and powerful pages of DC Comics’ Wonder Woman coloring book with your Markers of Truth! This is one of my most anticipated coloring book releases of the year.

9. Quoth the Raven "Color more."

I am a huge fan of Edgar Allan Poe and if you are too, you will love this coloring book. It is filled with breath-taking illustrations based off quotes from Poe's greatest works. Delve into the mysterious and horrific world of Edgar Allan Poe's coloring book.

Buy it here!

10. Erotica Friend Fiction- The Coloring Book


Bob's Burgers is my favorite show... Ever! So, imagine my excitement when I discovered that I can color my favorite family of television!! The best part- PUNS! Loads and loads of puns along with our favorite scenes. Go out and get this so we can color butts together.

Available September 20,2016 Pre-order it here!

11. Lean, Mean, Zombie Colorin' Machine!


Yes, this uber popular zombie comic book series is already printed in black and white. But you don't have to ruin your beautiful first editions and omnibus just to add gruesome blood splatter to grisly deaths. To be honest, this is mainly a large Walking Dead art book, but if you wanted to color it you can.

Buy it here!

Now you have no excuse for not getting into adult coloring books. There are so many different options to choose from and they are all relaxing. Need a break from life? Color a dragon purple or rainbow stripe "Bullsh*t!". The world is your oyster and it can be orange!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
