Published in March, Reverie: A Coloring Retreat is Mysha Denson’s first adult coloring book. This title is described as being a collection of church-themed illustrations, featuring the Garden of Eden, the Sacred Grove, and LDS symbols and sayings. However, it didn’t strike me as being particularly religious when flipped through the pages. There are lots of butterflies, plants, and flowers drawn in a cute whimsical style that I think you can appreciate regardless of your particular spiritual beliefs.
All of the pages are printed on quality paper and perforated for easy removal, which is always a plus. However, keep in mind that the designs are printed on both the front and back of the page. Many of the pages seem to be double page spreads, such as the photo in the bottom right of the collage above — where the butterflies span two pages. This means the book is best suited for those of you who like to work in colored pencils as opposed to markers or gel pens.
Reverie: A Coloring Retreat can be purchased on Amazon for $12.99. However, the publisher has generously provided a copy for me to give to one lucky reader. To enter, please leave a comment letting me know why you’re interested in adding this title to your collection. I’ll pick one winner at random on May 9. (US residents only, please.)

I am LDS and am curious to see what she included. It’s very beautiful from what I can see. Thanks!
It has butterflies, flowers, and plants…who wouldn’t want it? 🙂
Very cool! 🙂
The drawings on the book look beautiful and feminine. I also love that it is not super I intricate, as I color for relaxation. Sometimes images in books are overly stimulating and defeats the purpose.
Although I am no longer LDS, the roots that I have in the religion are still a huge part of me. Leaving the church was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I still have many members of my extended family that are still part of it. We have come to a place where we are all able to live authentically around each other but still remain loving for our differences. Why would I want a coloring book that represents the religion that I left? I think coloring it would help me connect in a positive way and keep those positive aspects that being raised LDS has imprinted on me.
I’d love to win this book because coloring is a hobby I enjoy together with my entire family.
I love coloring. It helps me to relax. Thank you for the chance to win
I would love to add your coloring book to my collection! I color to relax and stress relief. I am a nurse, private duty for a 2 year old at night and take care of my parents (whom live with us) during the day. Am also trying to get my father into coloring to pass the time as he is in end stage COPD and disabled.
Being a mom….it’s the only stress releief I get! I love to color! My brother and I always colored together when we were younger! He passed when we were both young…now I feel like I’m close to him when I’m alone coloring as an adult!!!
I recognize those LDS sayings 😉 This looks like a beautiful book! I would really enjoy it!

Hi. What a great book! It’s love to have this! All of my coloring books, pencils, pens, other supplies, etc were stolen. I have a lot of health problems including severe depression and anxiety. Coloring lets me focus and relax. It keeps my mind off my pain. Good luck and whoever wins enjoy 🙂
