This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all coloring books being released. Bear in mind, that there are hundreds and hundreds of books being released every month. I cannot possibly keep up with all of them!
This list of new releases is only books that have taken my fancy, and that I think that you may like as well. Due to the high cost of postage for most readers, this list will usually not include International releases.
Many of these books I will be reviewing as part of my coloring book reviews.
Please also bear in mind that different countries often have different publication dates. Something may be released in the US earlier than in the UK or vice versa.
If you know of a new release that you think I may be interested in leave a comment in the comments area below

Color Me Murder (Pen & Ink)
This looks like an interesting book filled with intricate images.  It seems to be like a murder mystery and coloring book The publisher’s blurb states ” By day, Florrie Fox manages Color Me Read bookstore in Georgetown, Washington D.C. By night, she creates her own intricately detailed coloring books for adults, filling the pages with objects that catch her eye. There’s plenty of inspiration in her new apartment—a beautiful carriage house belonging to Professor John Maxwell, Florrie’s boss. He offers the property to Florrie rent-free with one condition—she must move in immediately to prevent his covetous sister and nephew from trying to claim it.

But the following morning, Delbert has vanished. It’s not until she visits the third floor of the store that Florrie makes a tragic discovery—there’s a trap door in the landing, and a dead Delbert inside. The esteemed Professor Maxwell is an obvious suspect, but Florrie is certain this case isn’t so black and white. Doodling clues, she begins to consider other colorful characters on the scene, all with a motive for murder. With a killer drawing closer, Florrie will need to think outside the lines . . . before death makes his mark again.”

Zendoodle Color-by-Number: Spring Awakening: Blooming Gardens to Color and Display
Deborah Muller and her Chubby Mermaid brand often self publishes books but also illustrates for coloring book publishers like Posh and St Martins Press under the Zendoodle brand.  In this spring themed coloring book, Deborah has created a color by numbers book.  I am a fan of color by numbers books as they are so relaxing. Not having to think about a color scheme means that you can just focus on the art and the act fo coloring.
