7 Oddly-Specific Adult Coloring Books To Fuel Your Creativity

Some folks are saying that the adult coloring craze has run its course. However, in my house at least, it’s still alive and well; after an insanely stressful day at work nothing loosens my clenched jaw and melts my stress away like a fresh page of patterns beckoning me to create my own masterpiece.

Mandalas and other geometric patters seem to be the most popular among coloring enthusiasts; throughout my search for the perfect books, though, I’ve come across a handful of truly strange and oddly-specific ones that left me chuckling or scratching my head. Here are seven of those for you to try:

 

1. Bun B’s Rap Coloring and Activity Book by Shea Serrano

Enjoy coloring some of history’s greatest rappers including Jay Z, Tupac, Kanye, and LL Cool J! More than just a coloring book, this one also includes connect-the-dot pictures and word searches.
