Coloring Books.

I love coloring since I was a child. I secretly stole a page or two from my younger siblings' coloring books and colored them. Good thing that kind of 'stealing' was not an issue to them so there was no shouting or hair pulling about the coloring books.

Until now, I would color some pages of my son's coloring books. I'd use his used crayolas and at one time I even used his watercolor.

I was ecstatic one afternoon when my boss told me about the latest trend - adult coloring books. They are for the very busy and stressed people who needed zen moments.

Off I went to the malls to get my own books. Here are my books and what I have done so far.

It's amazing how we now "adultize" kid activities. Just goes to show that it is indeed fun to be young.

The Sea of Monsters.

I am enjoying my nights nowadays. My little boy can easily sleep by himself and I have less conference calls... ergo, less stress from work. I cook at night and I am now able to read books before I doze off.

I love reading books and I have recently developed a liking for children's lit.

Finished two books of the Mysterious Benedict Society. Now, I am reading the first of The Secrets of Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

Two weeks ago, I finished the second of the Percy Jackson series and I loved it.



True, it still has traces of the Harry Potter book -- like the boarding school/camp setting, the Voldemort-like Kronos, and the friends who do not seem to be care about their own selves -- but it was fast-paced but not too tiring to read.

I already have the third book waiting and excited to read it... except if I get the paperback version of the 3rd Mysterious Benedict Society piece.
