Coloring books for adults has been a hot trend for awhile now, and I've found that there are many such books featuring animals and fantasy scenes. "Reverie" is focused more on nature and floral designs.

Each page is perforated making it easy to remove a page and frame or display your artwork. There are also small sections of each page featured separately so that you can try out your color scheme on one bit of the whole design to see if it works as well as it does in your mind.

The paper is strong enough that felt pen ink doesn't bleed through, but I found that colored pencils worked best with the designs for me.

I've tried out quite a few coloring books and found this one to be the most relaxing and enjoyable of all of them. The designs are complex, but not complicated, and I absolutely loved that there is a page in the front that states "This book belongs to" so that you can take it with you and if you accidentally leave it behind someone will see your name in it and hopefully return it to you.

If you are new to the adult coloring scene, this is a great book to start getting your coloring groove on with. If you have many coloring books and have felt overwhelmed by some of them, then this is one to help you step back and relax and enjoy the coloring experience! I highly recommend it!
