1. Adult Coloring Book Leads Book Sales on Amazon

Last year’s Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book by illustrator Johanna Basford and her latest Enchanted Forrest: An Inky Quest and Coloring Book are the bestselling books on Amazon.

Unlike most coloring books, these books are made for adults. Why the trend towards coloring books for adults? As The International Business Times points out, adult coloring books are gaining in popularity thanks to digital detoxes.

The books, from Laurence King Publishing, feature intricately hand drawn designs of flora and fauna and animals inspired by the author’s rural home in Scotland. Some pages feature unfinished works, so that the reader can finish the patterns themselves.
