Coloring books for grown-ass adults

A while ago we talked about crafts you can do with a group, and Offbeat Homie Emma mentioned coloring:

So if you’re open to low-skill based things, coloring is a GREAT way to let your mind wander and chat without having to be too focused. I’m thinking of starting a coloring book club for my neighborhood.

And I was like “mind-fucking-blown.” I’m crappy at every craft ever, but coloring… dudes, I’m awesome at that AND it’s something I can do while I have a glass (bottle?) of wine. And then I stumbled upon this:

Color Me Drunk: A Drinking and Drawing Activity Book. It’s a coloring book that encourages you to drink!? Yes please. Obviously I purchased it right away.

But wait! My adult coloring finds get better. Check these out…

A friend of mine uses that last coloring book to manage her anxiety. Oh the joy of coloring for adults. What coloring books have you gotten into? Bonus points for letting us know what kind of coloring utensils you use (which markers don’t bleed, which pencils don’t break, etc).
