"Cottagecore Galore" is a whimsical coloring book that will delight fans of the hobby. I downloaded and printed a few of the pages (the embroidered mushrooms and baked bread) to color on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The illustrations are so charming and I love that there are prints that relate to all of the seasons, so this coloring book can be used year-round. Some of the details are so tiny that it takes either very sharp colored pencils or finely-tipped pens to fill in. Overall, it's a great coloring book to relieve stress and boost creativity.

Cottagecore Galore by artist Katie Vaz is a charming coloring book that will fill joyous time coloring all things cottage from garden benches, rose-covered arches, cottage flowers, birds, pies anything that you can imagine when you imagine a cottage is in here.

Sweet, charming, full, and joyous.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to view and review this sweet charming coloring book.

Adorable adult coloring book with charming cottage themes. The images aren't sophisticated, but are cute. Interiors, plants, bugs, crafts--all are represented. Cottagecore was a new term to me with his book, and it is indeed a romanticized, idealized set of images that are cozy and calming and sure to delight anyone yearning for a simpler or more traditional life. No outhouses, though. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The hardest thing about reviewing this title is that I have an e galley. I really wanted to use some colored pencils and see the results. So, I may well decide to purchase this one when it is released.

Cottagecore is a coloring book that will undoubtedly help people to destress. The drawings are engaging and peaceful. This is a book to enjoy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for this title. All opinions are my own.

This title will be published on 19 Apr 2022.

I think I just found a new favourite! What a lovely, warm and welcoming book. The aesthetic is everything. I need this in my life.

Cottagecore is my goal in life. I loved this coloring book! I'll have to pick it up for sure. The drawings were fun in that cozy aesthetic that makes you want to drink tea out of your favorite mug. There was one specific page of an herbal tea garden that gave me some ideas for what I want to add to mine. Now all I want is some honey drizzled on a fresh piece of bread!

We are a library, so we don’t purchase coloring books, but I am tempted to get it as a prize for this summer. It’s got a good variety of cottage core aspects: canning, preserving, forest animals, sewing, reading, mushroom-gatherings, and so many flowers. To really be cottage core though, I would have liked to see some lesbians holding hands or making breakfast together.

Cottagecore Galore by Katie Vaz is a wonderful, surprisingly packed, coloring book that delights in the little moments of the outdoors and a slow lifestyle. It is filled with scenes, prints, and still lifes of moments one might consider "cottagecore" (this concept is explained in the introduction/description of the book).

I delighted in scrolling through this, and as someone who colors while listening to audiobooks and podcasts and as a low-focus break from work, I could definitely see myself buying this. I found there to be a few too many floral prints for my taste though, and they started to blur together. Generally, however, there was a nice balance between repetitive prints and more detailed illustrations for any attention level/mood you are in. I loved the attention to the small wonders and beauties of everyday life and so many of the illustrations were creative (tea tins!!! so cute!!!).

Other than fewer floral prints, I would suggest labeling the plants. I personally don't know a lot of plant names and if I were to color them I would want to do it right!! Overall though this really is a creative delight :)

Cottagecore Galore by Katie Vaz is a dreamy colouring book, brimming with embellished, dainty and gorgeous illustrations for you to colour in. The art style of this colouring book is precious and captivating, with intricate illustrated strawberries to forest animals. Inspiration floods you, when you gaze at this cosy colouring book. Instantly when I peered at this colouring book I was drawn into the colouring pages, filled with imaginative ideas of colour and hue. I was seeing rosy tones, lilacs and light blue’s just by looking at the beautiful illustrations drawn with passion.
There is the best of both worlds in these colouring book, with some pages containing blank space for you to freely colour, and others being more defined.
This romantic colouring book involves and integrates different aspects of the Cottagecore theme including fantasy elements, home essentials and gardening pieces. As you dive into this romantic colouring book you’re entranced by this cosy world of beauty. I would recommend this colouring book for anyone who has a Cottagecore style, or who adores cosy colouring books!!
Thankyou to Netgalley, Andrew McMeel Publishing and Katie Vaz for the DRC!

Cottagecore Galore by Katie Vaz . A beautiful variety of drawings. The detail in the pictures are amazing. While I can see adding color to the drawings, a few of them are complete as black and white drawings. A print copy of this book is a must (found that it can be pre-ordered online). Will be looking for other Katie Vaz books.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

The tile and the beautiful cover is what caught my attention when I first saw this coloring book. The funny thing is that I had no idea what (or thought I had no idea) of what #CottageCore was. Then a few days after my request was approved, an article popped up when I opened a new tab on Mozilla Firefox explaining cottagecore. Naturally, I read the article and I realized that my whole way of life had a name.

If you don't know what it is, cottagecore is essentially a social media movement that fosters the idea of living a simpler, more rural way of life (even if you live in a bigger city like me). It is both an aesthetic and fashion style that promotes activities such as baking, gardening, diy-ing, etc.

Anyway, Cottagecore Galore is the perfect way to relax. I can honestly see myself cuddling up with a blanket in my living room while listening to an audiobook and coloring one of these gorgeous sheets. Truly, this coloring book will make you feel like you're living in an idyllic countryside. I absolutely loved skimming through all of the pages filled with flowers, teapots, and strawberries.

This coloring book looks amazing I'm very excited for this to come out physically so I can buy a copy. Cottagecore Galore has beautiful pictures for you to color including flowers, insects, animals, etc... I would highly recommend this to people who have anxiety or people who want to try something new to relax after a stressful day.

I've never written a book revierw for a coloring book before, but there's a first time for everything. This one's definitely a good one to start. It's adorable!

Flipping through its pages made me happy, and I wanted to sit down, watch some period piece about a lady in the country, and color for hours. I was a little bummed that there wasn't a way to print out a sheet or two to actually color, but that's fine. I'll pick it up at some point for some relaxation time while watching my shows.

It's out in a few weeks, so if you're looking for a coloring book to add to your leisure time and enjoy cottagecore, definitely pick it up.

Timeless is the perfect description of these coloring pages! I suffer from anxiety and these are detailed enough to get me out of my head.

Wonderful gift for all ages.

First, I did not know coloring books were included on NetGalley and I for one am here for it! Katie Vaz captures the whimsy and joy of Cottagecore with this absolutely adorable coloring book. This is a great addition to Vaz's current catalogue of whimsically drawn informative works and would encourage anyone who is a fan of their work to check this one out. I can just picture a cozy afternoon curled up with my favorite coloring tool working through this book and slipping into a state of pure relaxation!

Lovely colouring book with a blend of cottage scenes and repeated patterns of flowers and animals. Large scale colouring pictures. The pictures take me right into a garden ready to explore all of it's treasures.

I enjoyed the topic, illustration style, and variety in this coloring book! Classic cottagecore themes are brought to life on every page: gardening, baking, nature, etc. There are pages with small detailed illustrations and some with larger illustrations. There is a page for every coloring mood.

Thank you to NetGalley for gifting my an ebook copy free for review.

Oh I love love love this!!
Beautiful cozy coloring pages, perfect for a summer day. I can picture myself laying on the floor in a nice sunspot coloring these and enjoying the warmth on my face while I dream of baking a pie in my cottage kitchen with strawberries fresh from my garden.
Some of the designs are a little busy/repetitive for my taste but I definitely have more that I loved than didn't.
I might share some of these with patrons at the library, and if purchasing a coloring book was something our library did this would make it onto that list! I love this because it has some pictures that kids would enjoy coloring and some that adults would enjoy. Perfect for any age and level of detail!

I’ve always adored the Cottagecore way of life even before the fad started. This coloring book embraces the Cottagecore life to its full extent and is relaxing to view even before coloring the pictures. Examples of pictures depicted are gardening(veggies,herbs,flowers), old lockets,mushrooms,picnics and foods. Love!

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!
