As someone who has had a box of 64 Crayolas (with the built-in sharpener on the back, of course) on hand at all times since I was about 8, I’m obviously totally jazzed about the adult coloring book craze. And while I’m completely content with Doc McStuffins or Hello Kitty (forever!), I’m endlessly inspired by the wonderful world of coloring books that are available to adults.

From flowers to owls to abstracts, stained glass, and even a little Benedict Cumberbatch, you’ll find a little bit of everything in adult coloring books and, since National Coloring Book Day is coming up on August 2nd, I thought that this would be the perfect time to share some of my favorites. So, break out the crayons and/or the colored pencils and get ready to feast your eyes on some super cool coloring books!
