Wonderland Adult Coloring Book ~ Amily Shen


3 out of 5 stars



I love adult coloring books.  They are relaxing and a fun way to spend time with my artsy daughter.  We love the intricate designs and how amazing the pictures look when colored.  

Wonderland is an adult coloring book inspired by Alice's Adventures.  Being a huge fan of Alice I thought I would love this book and was quick to order it.  That excitement faded as I looked through the pages.  

Most pages have simple designs and there is a lot of white space.  Every so many pages there is a "chapter page" with the chapter number and a very simple design around it, following this is a page of words - a loosely interpreted story of Alice.  This essentially wastes two pages of the book as they are not interesting to color.  As I said, they are also every few pages!





I think the author needs to decide if she is making a story book, or a coloring book.  

There are a few fun designs in the book, however I would like more intricate pages to color and less story.

Happy Reading!

Straight Talking ~ Jane Green





What can I say, another awesome Jane Green novel.  I could barely put this book down!  It was a very quick, fun read.  If life didn't get in the way it would have been finished in two days instead of a week.

Jane Green does a great job "straight talking" in this book.  The main character, Tasha, is afraid of commitment and constantly searching for "the one."  In some parts of this book I was screaming "Why you fool? Why?!"

This is a fluff read, nothing too deep, just something to keep you busy.
If you are in your mid to late 20's and single, this is the book for you.
