I like this better than Rooms of Wonder (since that one had so many wallpaper pages) but let's all be real.... Johanna has essentially been giving us the same books over and over. I will buy it eventually like the sucker I am though.
I'm passing on this one. I feel like it's the same pics over and over, just slightly redone. Don't care for the wallpaper and too much empty backgrounds. Wasn't impressed. I used to still buy them anyhow but they just end up sitting on the shelf so I told myself no more. I feel like she needs to come up with new material and ideas.
I know! I just wrote practically the same thing as you on Pamela’s Passion for Pencils review of this book. Too much samey samey content. Never seems to change much. Boring. She has talent but needs to diversify.
I will look for the discussion on her group. I recently said this same thing about another coloring book artist who put the same pictures in 2 different books. So others will end up with two different books yet the same images in both. That feels like a rip off. On this book the empty space bugs me. Some may like to add their own touches but most don't. I don't want to pay for a book only to have to draw my own pics. Every one has their own style and I get that, but like the other artist I mentioned, changing a pic slightly is nothing new. When I flipped thru another I thought, I've seen this same pic in an older book or very similar. I was very disappointed in this one. Some were always an automatic pre-order for me. I have stopped until I see a flip thru first. I love their work but this is becoming a problem with some. The prices are increasing which also adds to my change in purchases.
Yeah thanks for a good and thorough review. I like her previous books like World of Flowers and Rooms of Wonder, Ivy and the Inky Butterfly. But I am done with her for now….too samey as other books.
I am missing a few of her books but admit I had to buy this one immediately as it was so charming I see lots of people say it is the same book as others. Does anyone have some examples? Edit: I am coloring the festive page with the swirls. My favorite JB is world of flowers!
Hello Kori, thanks for the flip through. I think the pumpkin house would be great to color. Thanks for sharing. I get my book tomorrow. Happy coloring!
I liked the wall paper with the pumpkins also. It's a fun book, I received mine today and have been flipping through the pages pondering color combos....The pumpkin house page would be a nice one to start with..
Hi Kori, had my pre-order in just for a short while and was quite surprised that it actually came today. I thought I may have had to wait because of this. But nope it was at the door this afternoon. It's an incredible book but then all of Johanna's books are! I have some of her colouring books that only have one or a few pages coloured but I too want to make sure I get my copy any new books. If I'm not mistaken Ivy and the Inky Butterfly is the only book that has more pages coloured in. I'm quite keen on the single small images especially if I'm not feeling up to straining my brain on colour choices lol.
Yeah, Amazon said they attempted to deliver my coloring book and they couldn’t and I don’t understand why, so I don’t have my coloring book yet. Hope they can deliver it tomorrow.
Oooh I love the dragons! I guess I'll be buying this book too, lol! 😂 Thanks for the flip through, I think it comes out here next week or something? End of October according to Amazon AU.
Heyyy boo🫶🏼❣️ Can't wait to get mine tomorrow😜❣️ It was supposed to be here today but it's ok I have some things I need to get done today anyways🤭❣️ What is your favorite Johanaa Basford Coloring Book or your top 3 🤔❣️

Thanks for watching! Totally get it
Rooms of wonder is my all time favorite. I love the pumpkin house page in magical worlds. I hope you can find time to do a color a long of that page.
I haven't tried a Johanna Basford book, but this one looks really cute! Love the little dragons!
You should!
I think this would be a perfect first Johanna Basford book!
Yes to the pumpkin house page for Sunday live! 😊

It's not the same. The styles are, but that is HER style, so there will be images that are similar or give those vibes
I LOVE this book! And I'm so glad you do too 💛
The best!
lovely book as usual! thanks for the flip. would like to see you color the pumpkin page.
Thank you! Will do!
Hello Kori, thanks for the flip through. I think the pumpkin house would be great to color. Thanks for sharing. I get my book tomorrow. Happy coloring!
Hope you enjoy it when it comes -- definitely happy mail for you!
Just got my copy in the mail today! I've really really really been looking forward to it.... so exciting!!
Hope you enjoy it!
I liked the wall paper with the pumpkins also. It's a fun book, I received mine today and have been flipping through the pages pondering color combos....The pumpkin house page would be a nice one to start with..
Wonderful!
Nice book. A good mixture of large pages too.
I think so too!

Thank you I really like this book ❤
I received mine yesterday 😊😊..beautiful book and several fall pages..my favorite is Rooms of Wonder 😊😊
Wonderful!
I'm going to get this book Next Month
I got mine yesterday too ❤❤❤
Yeah, Amazon said they attempted to deliver my coloring book and they couldn’t and I don’t understand why, so I don’t have my coloring book yet. Hope they can deliver it tomorrow.
Oh shoot, hope you got it!
Yes to livestream ❤
The wallpaper pages would be perfect for cards after they have been coloured. 😊
That is definitely a great idea!
Oooh I love the dragons! I guess I'll be buying this book too, lol! 😂 Thanks for the flip through, I think it comes out here next week or something? End of October according to Amazon AU.
Yeah usually the AU one is delayed but not by long. Hope you enjoy it!
I like making stickers out of the small images
That's a fun idea!
It's just to arrived. No need to wait on granddaughter to come home from school so we can open it and smell the new book.
Book looks amazing. Looking forward to tackling it.😁
This book looks fun and thanks for the flip through. I thought it looked like a stitched binding. Is that the case? And it’s the US edition?
Yes, the link is in the description, but this is the US edition. They are glued -- but let me double check.
Tried the link to buy the sweatshirt and it’s a broken link
The sweatshirt?
@@ColorfullyOptimistic It's maybe a reference to the sweatshirts in your store (?)
