Thank you to the publisher, author, illustrator, and NG for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. 100% love this, no hesitation. It's incredibly cute, totally fits the genre/theme of cottagecore. My favorite pages were the bookstack, the cinnamon rolls, the sleepy cat in the comfy room, and the tea boxes. Just based on looking through these pages, I get the feeling that they would require some very careful coloring. The linework art is very intricate and some pages have little open space. I would think that it would require fine point coloring supplies. Either way, my feeling about it is that it's super cute, fits well, and would require some patience and skill to complete. Thanks for the chance to look through this!

Cottagecore basically describes my life, despite the fact that I live in a very urban, downtown flat. I adore knitting, sewing, making pottery, herbalism, baking, curling up reading, gardening, birding, and going for long walks right from my front door. This colouring book perfectly captures the cozy, earthly, slow-living cottagecore style in all sorts of fabulous designs. Further, there are differently patterned styles so that you can chose whether you are interested in colouring intricate details or prefer to shade in larger swaths, according to your mood. Some of my favourite pages include bundles of recognizable herbs, a collection of diverse candlesticks, a scene with a kitty warming itself beside a wood-stove in the corner of a cottage with herbs hanging from the ceiling above, a bunch of different cottages, bees, and the owl on a stump. But there is really SO much more to discover in this cute collection of feel-good colouring pages. Honestly, I really wish that the publisher had sent me a physical copy so that I could be colouring right now!! If you are into anything cottagey or homesteady or slow-living in any way, I absolutely recommend this colouring book to you.
Many thanks to Katie Vaz, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for the digital advance preview copy of this colouring book, in exchange for this honest review.

Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Cottagecore Galore is a detailed coloring book with a cottage/country/homey feel drawn by Katie Vaz. Due out 19th April from Andrews McMeel, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback format.
This is an appealing collection of black and white line drawings which invite the reader to take time enjoying coloring and making them their own with color choices and details left entirely up to each individual taste. There's a short introduction from the author, but otherwise no text included in the drawings.
The whole vibe is "country", with lots of whimsical details and a fun upbeat aesthetic. There are single page drawings with bees, lots of flowers and herbs, china teacups, butterflies, fruit, and baked goods full of details which invite a closer look.
Five stars. It does precisely what it sets out to do. This would make a good choice for a quiet coloring session with a cup of coffee or tea, some fine line markers, and uninterrupted mindful time. It would also be well suited for gift giving, perhaps bundled with a nice set of fine-line markers.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

A very beautiful coloring book! The images have clean lines with perfect spaces to really make them your own. There is a large variety of images that fit the cottagecore themes and some are more 'complex' than others which makes this great for a variety of ages.

Oh such a lovely coloring book...
This book full of charming pictures of rural life with strawberry, cookies, ceramics, homemade jams. I almost can imagine my self doing self relaxing with this book. Each individual picture is pretty enough to lift up as another craft project such as decoration journalling book.
Thanks Netgalley for sent me this beautiful coloring book.

This coloring book is super cute. The pages range from more simple designs to very intricate ones. This gives a wide variety to choose from depending how involved you want your coloring to be at any specific time. It has warm, cozy, relaxing vibes.

I don't think I have ever reviewed an adult coloring book before, but I can go with the flow. I love the pictures and illustrations of the coloring book. After browsing this coloring book I can not wait to pick up a copy of it. Cottagecore is something I now want to try with my life.

This is the most giftable coloring book I've ever come across and with a lot of pages.
The amazing detail and cozy feeling of each illustration filled the book with a wonderful collection of pages with delightful cottage elements, patterns, and nature. It just makes our day better with a celebration of whimsical and amazing cottage aesthetics. Highlighted elements: mushrooms, keys, flowers, lanterns, full sceneries, wild animals and pets, fabric, jars and vials, houses, fruit and vegetables, clothes, food...Fantastic.
I'm so pleased to have come across this Arc coloring book. Thank you Netgalley and author for making it available.
