The whole "I'm going to ruin it" is why I've started leaning so hard into PDF books and why I've started picking up extra copies of Kerby, Basford, & Karlson books. Part of why I stopped coloring as a kid as I would get a coloring book and be so afraid of ruining it or waiting to get "the perfect markers or crayons" that I had a stack of uncolored books back then. I've somehow never come across Maggie Enterrios before. Just added her to my shopping cart. 5 Favorites: Kerby Alien Worlds, Basford Worlds of Wonder, Karlson Tales From the Midnight Masquerade, The Official Goonies coloring book, and Ellezor's Beautiful Monsters.

Yea sometimes I'll scan them if I'm not sure

Rooms of Wonder and Luna are two of my favorites as well! I love your idea of coloring Luna with the colors on the cover. How fun! I remember you were coloring I think Hanna Karlzon's forest kingdom book all in pastel colors...that inspired me to want to color a book with a theme as well :)

It was fun seeing your top 5 fave books. I only have the Rooms of Wonder, although the Rita Berman one is on my wishlist! My top 5 is subject to change but Kerby Rosane's Mythomorphia, The Official Game of Thrones colouring book (the one where the characters in it are not based on the tv characters!), Ken Matsuda's colouring book, Briar colouring andThe Circle of Life

I'm pretty new to coloring and my favorites so far have been Hanna Karlzon Jewelry Box and Maria Trolle Nightfall. I have a plethora of Selina Fenech coloring books because I started collecting them several years ago, I have all of Cris Ortega's coloring books I purchased recently, a Harry Potter one I was gifted, and a Junji Ito Uzumaki coloring book I'll probably never color in that I bought bc I'm a huge fan of his manga. I'm always on the look out for new books and I've been looking at a few Johanna Basford and Kerby Rosanes coloring books but they look a bit intimidating to me so I haven't purchased them yet. I love horror so I've been looking into horror coloring books as well like Alan Robert's Beauty of Horror series. I also have a ton of single pages from Christine Karron, Hanna Karlzon, Sarah Richter, Mariola Budek and Cris Ortega, but I haven't gotten around to coloring any of them except one of my Hanna Karlzon ones which I've almost finished. Most of my coloring so far has been in Nightfall since I like coloring florals a lot and I'm working on improving skin, hair and fur and that book gives me some cute pages to work on. My next one from her will probably be Luna.

@ColorfullyOptimistic

Both of those are great books! I do like Selina Fenech, but I've usually gotten her PDFs just because the books on Amazon use Createspace paper which I'm not a big fan of.

Great choices.👏 Of those you picked, Luna would be my favourite 😀

I don't have a favorite book because I don't know what I want to color yet. I keep trying different things, but I know I don't like flowers because most books I see are 90% flowers and I've had enough flower coloring and don't want to color another flower for as long as I live. Am I the only one sick of flower coloring? Should I be wearing armor right now to protect myself from the oncoming verbal abuse?
