Coloring for Grown-­Ups: Holiday Fun Book

by Ryan Hunter & Taige Jensen
Plume, 64 pp., $10 (paper)

Where am I, who is this, and how do I leave? Well, holmes, depending on your tastes, she's either redhead, blond, or brunette. That's the opportunity afforded through Ryan Hunter and Taige Jensen's Coloring for Grown-­Ups: Holiday Fun Book, a 64-­page tie­-in to last October's Coloring for Grown­-Ups, stenciling the frames for every dejected Santa, debt-­stricken veteran, and passed-out-drunk leprechaun this really real world could conceivably create. Interspersed throughout are word finds (Pretend to be Jewish!), Mad Libs (China just bought "The Star­-Spangled Banner"; rewrite that shit!), and a 30-year Halloween zeitgeist chart, because we're not ourselves if we don't remember that 2010 was the year we got bodied by Snooki. – Chase Hoffberger
