I find them very enjoyable, I have a handful, I found a couple at a dollarstore which was nice as they are often a bit expensive.

Probably one of the few whom coloring has the opposite effect on now. xD As a kid, I used to love to color. But now, it would drive me up the wall.
Though I'm glad there are more coloring books popping up for people that do enjoy it. Looking through the patterns at the book store is nice. c: They're so pretty! I would never be able to choose just one!
I really like the IDEA of adult coloring books, but the tiny intricate patterns drive me crazy! I'm old! My eyes are bad! I can hardly see the lines let alone color inside them!
...but despite that, I'm thinking of buying one to try out. So far I only tried free ones offered online. Actually, I printed out some scans of Japanese Pokemon coloring books for me and my boyfriend to do. Technically that's not an adult coloring book, but there were adults coloring.
I've been working on one myself, The Time Chamber from Daria Song. It is beautiful. it has a sort of mythical steampunk feel. I totally recommend coloring books to anyone wanting to find a healthy stress reliever, or just wanting to invoke childhood fun!
I was into the adult coloring books when they only had a few in stores and were first starting to surface (not trying to be a hipster over here, or anything) ;) But I'm actually glad that they've become so popular because the variety that the stores have now is great. I'm so excited to get a Lisa Frank coloring book, I had so many of those as a kid, now as an adult it'll be even better, I think. Currently my favorite one is the Animorphia coloring book.

I used to color all the time while listening to YouTube podcasts.
There's still a coloring book I haven't touched that I hope to pick up soon.

I have a beauty and the beast one that I've been coloring. It's a fairytale one with the story and you color in the scenes.
I only just started getting into them recently. Have you tried the ones that are more scene, picture oriented. I find that in order for me to actually concentrate, I need context so coloring in multiple mandalas gets really boring for me after a while. That may just be me though. I tend to gravitate more toward the ones that are plot, tv show, etc... based.
Here's the one I have.
