Review

"...This would be the perfect gift for a romance reader. Or better yet, buy it for yourself and in between reading books color a page or two. Stick it in your beach bag along with your books, a pack of pencils/markers, and you've got a great book date!" - Michele H., The Coloring Club

"This was the first coloring book I've been sent for review and I fell madly in love with it! This is one of the most prefect coloring books I've ever seen and I am forever grateful for Martha to have created it...." - Cassandra,
The Bookish Crypt

"YES!!!! This is EXACTLY the Adult Coloring Book us bookaholics have been waiting for!..." - Michelle,
Bookaholic Banter

"This brilliantly talented writer has brought her readers and fans a coloring book suited for all book lovers and bookworms alike...." Danielle,
Urban Book Reviews

From the Author

As a fan of books, when I was in search for some new coloring books as a way to relieve stress and help with the writing process, I was surprised to see that there wasn't a coloring book for book lovers - so, I created it.  I hope you enjoy Bookish!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Martha Sweeney is a BESTSELLING author who writes in a variety of genres: romance (contemporary, romcom, suspense, paranormal, and historical), suspense, fantasy, thriller, coloring books, and soon, science fiction. She strives to push herself as a storyteller with each new tale and hopes to push her readers outside of their comfort zone whether it be genre or the stories themselves.

With a B.S. in Psychology, Martha utilizes her knowledge of human and animal behavior successfully in the business world and in her writing to present realistic characters and situations. She's been creative since she was little, always drawing, coloring or making crafts, so her venture into being an author was a natural transition.

    Since God can't make me a bird so I can fly far far away, Im going to sit here and color.

    I have a great deal of adult coloring books, but this by far is my favorite. I saw tons of people on Facebook with them and got kind of jealous.. I wanted to be a cool kid, so I used my Amazon Prime magic wand and ordered it. Sweeney doesn't disappoint.

    Its fun and stylish. 40 different designs to color, games, and pages where I can write down all the names of my book boyfriends. Who could ask for anything more.

    I like how nothing is designed on the back of each page because the pens I use bleed through. This is a win. Also I find that once some of the pages are colored I can use them as office signs so the little people in this house can leave me to my own devices.

    I will use this coloring book to escape from my children.

    I will probably color from the toilet because that where I hide from them.

    I will color on a bus.

    I will color on a plane.

    I will color everywhere.

    I will color day and night.

    Martha Sweeney got this coloring book right..

    I loved coloring when I was a child and recently picked it up again last year just prior to the adult coloring craze hit. I usually prefer to color leaves and flowers, but when I saw that author Martha Sweeney had created a “bookish” themed coloring book…I HAD to have a copy. I was lucky enough to receive an autographed advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

    I really like this book particularly because of the bookish themed designs. Plus, there are a variety of page design types to keep it interesting. It even has a word search included. I used several different coloring media throughout the book to get a good feel of what materials worked well with the paper. The Prismacolor Scholar pencils went down smoothly and vibrantly on the bright white pages. I do not have any alcohol based markers, but the Staedtler Triplus Fineliners and Faber Castell PITT pens had very little bleeding, although I still placed a blank sheet of paper behind the page I was coloring to prevent any transfer or bleed through.

    My only real complaint about this book is the paper quality. It feels very thin and cheap and you can easily see the print on the next page through the page you are coloring (as you can see in the photos below). I was very disappointed by this! Luckily, the pages are one sided and can be cut from the book for display if you choose. Unfortunately there, are no perforations and I’m not one to cut up my books!

    Recommend for any book lover and coloring book collector.

    I'm not feeling all the love that the other reviewers are feeling. And I feel bad about it, as books are my favorite subject and I couldn't wait to get this coloring book. First of all, my bad for not noting the size of the book. I wasn't expecting it to be so small, nor the pages so thin. I think too many pages are wasted. If I wanted a word search puzzle, I would have gotten a puzzle book. Two pages are taken up with space to write down your book boyfriends. I would much rather have had more images to color. I do like the book lovers phrases. I would have liked more detail on most of the pages. I also think this is the most I've paid for a coloring book, even really fancy ones. I do hope to see more coloring books with this subject matter, just a little better executed.

    Very cute! Not quite sure what I'd get, as I hadn't seen the book in the store and there weren't "View Inside Book" options, which I think should be mandatory for coloring books. But there were some cool things, like lists, and I love lists. I'd recommend to any book lover.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Very low quality paper
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2017
    This book is absolutely beautiful

    The images are stunning and absolutely perfect for a book lover like myself- lots of pages to colour, an odd wordsearch thrown in

    Now for the disapointing part.......

    Why oh why would you print such a beautiful book on such terrible paper????

    It's not like at £12 this is even a cheap colouring book- for £12 I expected the quality we got in Love Between the Lines- that was some lovely thick paper!!

    I can actually see through this paper!! It's that low grade!!

    I imagine pencils will leak through never mind pens!!

    I have attached an image of the reverse side of a page so that you can actually see for yourself how thin this paper is!

    You had an excellent concept- and you ruined it by going cheap on the materials and charging premium prices- shame on you Martha Sweeney!!!!!!
