Amily Shen's Wonderland - A Coloring Book Inspired by Alice's Adventures

Adult coloring books are all the rage.  Who knew that love of coloring would come back and it's actually ok for an adult to color.  Well, the coloring books for kids are not quite the same as the adult ones.  You can still buy the children version, no one will know and I won't tell LOL.  The adult coloring books can be a little intimidating and intricate, but not this one.  Wonderland by Amily Shen is interactive, fun, not too intricate but intricate enough for the artist inside you. You get to follow White Rabbit into this imaginative coloring book inspired by  Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.  You will meet the Chesire Cat, attend the Mad Hatter's tea party, play croquet with the Queen of Hearts and much more.  This book would make a great gift as well, especially for the Alice fan in you or your life.  Happy Coloring and maybe we will can grab a cup of tea with Mad Hatter together!

Awkwardly Ok

I had the opportunity to review a book called Born To Be Awkward by Mike Bender and Doug Chernack.  It was a compilation of Awkward Family Photos.  While the book is very cute, I have to say I would purchase it at full price.  I was fortunate enough to get it for free so, it wasn't really a problem.  But I wouldn't purchase it, just to purchase it.  For a gift maybe, but only if it was marked down.  I am not trying to bash the book, it had some pretty funny photos in there.  Just not my cup of tea, shall we say.
