I love coloring. I even hosted a girly coloring event not to long ago. Coloring is great because it's both mindless and mindful. I can zone out with my Prismacolors while watching TV or chatting with friends. I don't get to do as much coloring as I like, but when I do have a few hours to devote to this awesome hobby, I'm happy every minute.
If you love this trend as much as I do, then you'll enjoy that this month's Variations on a Theme is a collection of literary adult coloring books.
