Have you joined the coloring craze yet? I absolute love coloring in the evening for a few minutes. It helps me relax and unwind. I also love reading. So what could be better than coloring pages about great pieces of literature?! Sherlock, The Wizard of Oz, Anne of Green Gables. Tolkien and Jane Austen. So many good ones to choose from! Read on to see what is available...
