|summary=About half a century ago I mentioned to someone that colouring was relaxing and enjoyable and received a lecture on my lack of creativity and willingness to use what other people had drawn for my own ends. I still did colouring - at a time when there were considerable pressures in my life over which I had no control - but it was just that it became my guilty secret. Now colouring is mainstream and there's a considerable range of design books to choose from. Orion have published three by Anastasia Catris: this book, {{amazonurl|isbn=1409163067|title=Colour Me Mindful: Underwater}} and {{amazonurl|isbn=1409163083|title=Colour Me Mindful: Tropical}}. So, how do they stand out from the crowd?

|summary=Marnie is an innocent, mathematical genius schoolgirl who, unfortunately, gets expelled from her fancy boarding school. Julie is her teacher, formerly a dancer, rigorously private about her past. Freddie is the boy that both of them fall in love with. Revealed through the eyes of two of the three main characters, this is a slow-moving, but rather beautifully told, love story. It has the same vintage feel that Eva Rice used so well in ''The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets'' and it cleverly winds its way through Marnie's story in the 1960's as well as Julie's past in pre-WW2 New York.
