We have created a unique product combining coloring book for adults and a classy paper notebook.

Over 50 original coloring pages for adults from the best graphic artists will help you relax and relieve stress. Discover the whimsical illustrations of graceful animals, birds, flowers and other creatures, along with cool geometric, mandala-like, abstract and other types of patterns.

Beauty outside

Each ColoringNotebook is individually crafted from the most beautiful materials: Japanese paper to create hardcover with rounded corners; handmade headband detailing adorns on the top and bottom of the spine adding a hint of contrast. Each book is professionally hand sewn and packaged.

It's an incredibly useful, functional and beautiful product. It allows you to have fun coloring wherever you are.


The ColoringNotebook is superb! 

(see below some of the pages I've colored - I used the staedtler triplus fineliner pens for it.)



Ever since coloring books for adults became a thing, I've loved it. The ColoringNotebook has a lot of amazing pages to color. According to the website, it includes more than 50 original coloring pages, it involves artists from Australia, Canada, Franca, Italy, US, Ukraine and Japan.


The pages to color are fantastic, obviously but also the notebook itself is great. As a (book) blogger it's great to write my notes in about the books I read and write reviews in. I'm sure writers would love it as well. Especially if they can color in between to take a break. 



I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves coloring as much as I do. The notebook aspect is a special and great bonus.

Waiting On Wednesday: Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly anticipating.





Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer
Expected publication: April 11th 2017 by HarperCollins

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo, Spindle Fire is an enthralling, wholly original re-imagining of a classic faerie story.

Half-sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king’s headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries; Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and voice on the same day. Despite their differences, the sisters have always been extremely close.

And then everything changes, with a single drop of Aurora’s blood, a Faerie Queen who is preparing for war, a strange and enchanting dream realm—and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken.

Spindle Fire is a tour de force fantasy set in the dwindling, deliciously corrupt world of the fae, and featuring two truly unforgettable heroines.


This just sounds like one of those spectacular YA fantasies. Anything that has "deliciously corrupt world of the fae" sounds good to me!

It's true that most books I read are set in the US. I don't mind that exactly but I do wish more books would be set outside of it. Luckily there are some great books that I read (like the ones featured on this post) that are set outside of the US. 
And Neverland totally counts too, right? :P 



What books set outside of the US do you like? Or what place would you like a book to be set in?
