I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. What a cute little coloring book. Highly recommended. The pages are super cute.

"Cottagecore Galore" by Katie Vaz is a very pretty, very dreamy coloring book full of gorgeous coloring pages. As you can understand from the title, this book is packed with BEAUTIFUL cottagecore illustrations.
It has 128 pages filled with a mixture of illustrations, which is a great deal for its price range and this way, you'll never run out of pages to color! The coloring pages have everything from deliciously drawn strawberries, cherries, jams, coffee grinders, tea cups, herbs, muffins, cakes, pies, cinnamon rolls, different types of breads (any kind of comfort food really) to bees, butterflies, ladybugs, snails; a variety of wild flowers (but also daisies, sunflowers, roses, dahlias...), plants and forest animals...
This one brings such cosy feelings... It is absolutely delightful, the designs are so immaculate and they just make you want to sit down in a comfortable environment and start coloring in your own world.

This coloring book provides a wonderful way to relax and de-stress. The pictures are cute and I enjoyed it.

Beautiful coloring books with so many projects to do, will enlighten your day!! It has so many pages to look forward too, and heartwarming ones about cottage, countryside, nature and cozy living.

One of the best adult coloring books I’ve come across! The images create a perfect cottagecore vibe while coloring and are even more gorgeous when framed and hung. Perfect gift for the colorer in your life.

I've been very intrigued by the "cottagecore" movement, but I don't feel like I can really get away with the clothes at my age, and I don't have the money to redecorate my house. However, I do love to color, so this was perfect. Obviously, I received this as an ARC e-book, but I like to look at coloring books before I buy them because I'm pretty picky, and I'll definitely be picking up a hardcopy of this! The pictures are absolutely adorable!

It's difficult to explain why I love this adult coloring book so much. My design esthetic is a weird mix of gamer chic, home library, renaissance faire, with just a smattering of what probably could be called cottagecore. Despite that, the pictures in this book are just wonderful. So wonderful, in fact, right after looking through it the first time, I ran out to the store and bought a new set of colored pencils so I could jump right into coloring it.

This coloring book is adorable and very detailed. I could imagine myself spending some quality time in creating colorful work. If you enjoy the Cottagecore-vibe, you will enjoy coloring in this book!
I received an eARC of this coloring book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* This is exactly what i need for a good summer in the country! Super cute artwork and i plan on buying this!

Cottagecore Galore is a coloring book with detailed, but not overwhelmingly so, images of flowers, kitchen implements, and books in black and white that can be colored in.

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.

Extensive colouring book with lots of unique pages to colour (I did not notice any repetition like some adult colouring books have). There is a good mix of patterned pages and actual scenes to colour. Some pages are more detailed than others, so you have a variety of pages to pick from depending on your mood. I think this colouring book would be good for any age, and for anyone who just wants to relax with a pretty picture. This would be a great addition to any colouring book collection and would make a lovely gift.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my advanced reader copy.

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.

Super cute! Lovely illustrations in line with the cottagecore theme. I would definitely be interested in purchasing this coloring book to use.

The images to colour are really good looking. Good if wanting either repetition or detail colouring. The images are sweet.

Okay, it is a little weird to give a review of a coloring book that you can't print out. This was provided to me at no cost by NetGalley, and at no point during my review process did I color any of these pages. I think the best way to do this review is going to be to list all of the types of coloring pages in this book, and add my notes if I have any.

If you are looking for something cozy for your coloring book hours, look no further! This entire book is full of beautiful, cozy pages to color that fit all my cottagecore needs. Every single page is absolutely beautiful and brings everything from pretty quilt patterns to fruits and baking. It’s such a simple and beautiful book to have on hand and fill with natural colors or put a funky spin on the pages as one sees fit.

I really like that there’s a good variety of scenes depicted with beautiful artwork. There’s flowers, bunnies, baking, picnics, tea, spice jars, and the list goes on. It’s the perfect coloring book for any fan of cottagecore who love the calmness of it all. Plus, it’s aesthetically pleasing even before coloring the pages!

Às vezes, tenho um surto de que não tenho nada para ler e vou até o Netgalley em busca de novidades. Foi lá que, no meio da noite, encontrei Cottagecore Galore, um livro sobre o qual eu não tinha qualquer conhecimento e que me encantou pela capa. Sinceramente, acho que, naquela noite, não me dei nem ao trabalho de ler o subtítulo, porque foi uma surpresa quando descobri que, na verdade, esse era um livro de colorir.
Apesar disso, não me decepcionei. Quer dizer, eu vou conseguir colorir o livro pelo e-book? Infelizmente não. E nem sequer posso imprimir para fazê-lo. Apesar de gostar de colorir por ser uma atividade que para mim é relaxante, não tenho muito tempo e por vezes nem paciência para isso — sei lá, nem sempre eu consigo relaxar pintando —, então decidi apenas observar os desenhos do livro, e posso dizer que é um melhor do que o outro.
Talvez observar ilustrações não seja para todo mundo, mas eu particularmente compraria um livro cheio delas apenas para olhar, e foi com esse pensamento que entrei em Cottagecore Galore. Aqui, Katie Vaz traz uma proposta de nos afastarmos um pouco desse mundo cheio de prédios e computadores e falta de tempo para adentrarmos num campo, num lugar calmo e tranquilo onde fazemos pães e tortas e geleias, regamos flores e damos comidas para os pássaros. Basicamente, a vida de uma camponesa.
Um desenho é mais bonito do que o outro, mas, por serem muito detalhados, acho que daria um trabalhão para colorir. Por isso, parece mais recomendado para quem realmente tem paciência de pintar e pintar e pintar — obviamente, já que é um livro de colorir, mas o que eu quero dizer é que os desenhos não são tão simples a ponto de pessoas impacientes como eu terem vontade de colorir tudo.
Em suma, Cottagecore Galore é um trabalho maravilhoso de Katie Vaz, capaz de encantar corações e fazer você sentir cheiro de pão quentinho e geleia de morango mesmo vivendo na cidade grande — e não tendo pão quentinho ou geleia de morango. Apesar de eu não ter colorido nada, não me arrependo por um segundo sequer de ter olhado cada página dessa obra de arte. Uma boa pedida para você que gosta de relaxar e colorir.

Cottagecore Galore is a beautiful coloring book. It has a wonderful mix of both simple and more detailed pages so there is something that can fit everyone's coloring level and style. I feel this book will take well to many different types of coloring mediums. My favorite pages include the one with lots of fluffy, adorable, little rabbits, as well as the page with a cute little bird in a beautiful birdhouse. I can't wait to order a physical copy in a few days. I have my colored pencils sharpened and ready to go.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to have a sneak peek of this beautiful book.

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.
