It’s official: coloring books for adults are the hot trend of 2015. Whether you’re expressing your creativity or just looking for a soothing way to relax, coloring is a fun and inexpensive hobby for al ages. In fact, it’s so popular right now that Johanna Basford’s Secret Garden book has sold out and is backordered. But don’t despair! We’ve got an all-new list of awesome coloring books for grownups that are available right now. See our original post for more ideas.

Enchanting English GardenEnchanting English Garden: An Inkcredible Scavenger Hunt and Coloring Book
Until Secret Garden gets reprinted, this coloring book is a pretty close substitute. Whimsical images like teapots, bunnies, and cottages are elaborately detailed for your coloring pleasure, and each page has a few hidden items for the “scavenger hunt.” The pages are printed on one side only, so you can tear them out and display your artwork easily.
