Katie Vaz’s Cottagecore Galore: A Timeless Coloring Book is an absolutely lovely and cozy coloring book. Every page features wonderfully depicted scenes that will warm your heart and soul!

Cottagecore is a soft, tranquil, and simple aesthetic which romanticizes peacefully living in a countryside cottage. It dreamily celebrates nature and animals as well as traditional skills like baking, gardening, and calligraphy. Flipping through every page of this book is such a gentle breath of fresh air!

Every single page is so beautifully rendered with fantastic details! This book is filled with over 100 lovely and unique full-page images for readers to color to their cozy little hearts’ content! I really like that the artwork is wonderfully detailed enough to give us more than enough imagery to admire but there are not too many drawings to crowd the pages. I also appreciate the clean lines and excellent use of space on every page.

There are gentle and wonderfully drawn images of both indoor and outdoor scenes as well as typical cottagecore activities like letterwriting, baking, and sewing along with drawings of animals, flowers, and food. You can color beautiful images of sunflowers, filled picnic baskets, darling cottages, and sweet bunnies frolicking in a field of flowers. There are also many lovely images of tea time with fantastically drawn kettles and tea boxes, scrumptious pies, spice jars with pretty labels, and baskets of freshly picked produce.

Cottagecore Galore is a truly beautiful and excellently detailed coloring book. It will be an absolutely delightful treat for the coloring book lover in your life. There is such a variety of images that it is suitable for any age group. I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this fantastic book!

I absolutely love the cottagecore aesthetic so this suits me down to a T! The illustrations included are really lovely but I would like a few more cottage/kitchen scenes. The drawings are cute and perfectly aesthetic. This book is the perfect way to pass an idle afternoon sipping on a cup of herbal in the garden.

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.

I am secretly a cottage core woman at heart. I grew up loving Holly Hobbie and wore hand made clothes similar to hers - how could I not be?
I've always been torn on the idea of either farm house living or sleek modern that I'd put all kinds of cutesy things inside of.
Back to this coloring book - it's gorgeous and encompasses the cottage core way of life. From the many flowers (morning glory, pansy, zinnia and among others!), the fuzzy bumblebees, chickens, pies, tea sets and so much more it's a delight throughout.
The drawing range from beginner level to more advance for the pages with smaller details.
This is a great choice for anyone, of all skill levels, even if cottage core isn't exactly your thing.

I requested this book not for coloring, I have no way to print, but because I like to doodle. I need help in that area too and so requested this book because I like cottagecore. The images provided are adorable, I especially love the acorns and the woodland path pages.

Thank you NetGalley, author, and the publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this e-arc.

I am so grateful too NetGalley for giving me access to this book, because, it is simply gorgeous! Cottage core themes and motifs are incredibly popular at the moment, and the images in this book gave me that cozy, carefree, homey feeling.

I loved the sheer variety of images that were represented, it didn't simply stick to the basics of plants and mushrooms, but encompassed a wider variety of images. The quality of the images were just stunning, no amount of detail was spared and they have such a charming rustic quality. There was also a great variety of images to suit each mood, with some repeating pattern pieces (like a page of teapots) perfect for zoning out, or, incredibly detailed wider scenes (such as gardens or kitchens) for when you really want to get stuck into an image.

I am not a huge fan of the artistry but it is a cute concept. I could kind of understand the theme throughout the book. But I am not drawn to the style of art.

This is such a cute colouring book! It has a bunch of different designs with varying levels of intricacies and detail so you can find something to suit your mood. I've printed a few and have started colouring while listening to my podcasts and it's so relaxing. I love the designs, they perfectly fit the cozy cottagecore theme and it's going on my list to buy when it's released.

Thank you Netgalley for an eARC.

This is a gorgeous collection of cottagecore colouring pages, filled with beautiful illustrations of small animals, baked goods, flowers, berries, and books.

While I'm not one for colouring, looking at this, I could absolutely spend an afternoon colouring in these pages and sipping tea.

Thank you to Netgalley, Andrews McMeel Publishing and Katie Vaz for an ARC of this beautiful book.

CottageCore Galore is a winsome coloring book with all of the elements that I associate with Cottage Core. From delicate teacups to lush gardens, Katie's illustrations beckon us to enter a world of spring days and sunny afternoons. I was drawn immediately to the patterns and textures that the artwork suggests and I'm itching to get a physical copy of the book to start filling with my own visions of color and tone.

Adult coloring books are one of my favorite ways to decompress and Cottage Core Galore is a five star example of the line work and subject matter that I find soothing and interesting. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants an escape from our high tech busy world and longs to stretch their creative muscles.

“A Beautiful and Creative Book”

CottageCore Galore by Katie Vaz is an excellent coloring book comprising some beautiful illustrations for quilters. I, myself as an artist would say that it is an amzing book of some very creative patterns of flowers, animals and baking. You can sit by the fire and calm yourselves while enjoying filling in some vibrant colors.

I, definitely would like to give the book 5 stars. Thanks to Netgalley and Andrews Mcmeel Publishing for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.

This is a gorgeous collection of cottagecore colouring pages. I was impressed but how many pages there were, both motif pages and full scenes. The pictures are a bit too shaded for my preference but I'd probably still buy this and enjoy using it.

Hands down the best coloring book I have ever seen. I wish I could color in it right away, but I have to wait until publishing date to get my hands on it.

Every single page is so pretty and fitting with the Cottagecore theme. It exceeded my expectations and I will buy it both for me and as a gift for friends who love coloring books.

Easy 5 stars for this beautiful adult coloring book.

A great little coloring book filled with a variety of cozy images! I especially liked how some of the images were more standardized (simple flowers filling the page on a blank background) while others depicted a cottage scene in its entirety.

The content is whimsical yet realistic and made both me and my nieces long for spring! In fact, the images strike just the right note between charming and fantastical. Some of the packages are simple enough to doodle without too much thought, while others work well for a full afternoon.

*Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for kindly providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!*

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.
