Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Candles
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme was officially “Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make”, but rather than share ten ideas of candles I’d make, I thought it’d be cool to share some of the amazing bookish candles that already exist in the world (and would make great presents for your own book lover!) I’m not a huge fan of scents like tobacco, coffee, or vanilla, which abound in bookish scented candles. But, I found a lot of really, lovely candles with scents like bergamot, cedarwood, cashmere, and lavender. And some have such fun names like Hundred Acre Woods, Endless TBR, and Booktrovert.
There are dozens of candle websites filled with bookish candles, especially if you’re a fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing, and other popular book series. (Just an aside, this is not an endorsement of any of the companies listed below, rather just a list of candles that I found intriguing for this blog post!

Smart take on the topic! I wish I had thought of it. As much as I love scented candles, I’m not creative enough to dream up my own, LOL. Some of these sound really wonderful. I might have to buy a Rainy Day Reads or Legends & Folklore one. They both sound amazing.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
