You can tell it‘s winter in Phoenix when you can even stand to have candles burning! Please disregard the Halloween theme, but thought the candle lid was too cute not to share.

AnnR That is cute! 🐾 10mo

vivastory I still have one of my Halloween decorations out 🤷‍♂️ 10mo

dabbe So true! They look lovely. 💜🩶💜 10mo

Librarybelle I have a “Halloween” tree out year round…it‘s black and fits with my decor. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 10mo

I didn‘t know that! I‘m very much going to give myself a head start on a positive 2024 by lighting one of these gorgeous candles ( handmade in NY from the wax of the barberry shrub ) on Sunday. ❤️May it also send vibes your way @Chrissyreadit

Cute charms found in my Chapters and Charms candle (you can find them on Etsy). You burn the candle and pull out the charms as they get revealed. Love the bookshelf print on this one. With all the snow, reading with candles and tea makes things much cozier.

BookPixie I have this same candle! I thought the prizes were the actual foil. Glad to know there‘s something in the foil lol 4y

While my candle collection comes nowhere near my book collection, I have quite a lot of candles. Floral scents really bother me, so my go to candle #Scent tends to be some sort of food. My house often smells like baking! #Gratitude30

Pictured are two candles recently gifted to me. Love the scent of both of these!

hermyknee

Jee_HookedOnBookz I somehow find food scent more bearable than flower😁 6y

Librarybelle @Jee_HookedOnBookz I just have to make sure I‘m not really hungry when I burn the candles, for fear that I‘ll start everything in sight! 🤣 6y

umbrellagirl Those both sound yummy. I usually go for something vanilla/baked good scented. 6y

Librarybelle @umbrellagirl ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @Librarybelle 🤣🤣🤣🤣I totally get it lolol 6y

robinb My daughter goes for florals, I go for fruity. 😊🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y

ChasingOm Definitely more of a food scented candle lover too! 6y

Librarybelle Food and fruity scented candles for the win, @robinb @ChasingOm ! 6y

Lynnsoprano I‘m definitely fruity, spicy. I‘m a Yankee Candle junkie 😂 6y

Librarybelle @Lynnsoprano 🤣 I “may” have so many Yankee Candles that I could open my own store! 🤣 6y

ferskner I also have waaaaaaaaaay too many candles. They're so addictive! 6y

Librarybelle @ferskner Yet one more similarity! Candles are extremely addictive. 6y

Lynnsoprano @Librarybelle @ferskner Help! I stopped in the Yankee Candle outlet store this morning. Hubby pulled me out before I did too much damage 🤣 6y

Librarybelle Love it, @Lynnsoprano ! I went to the outlet closest to me once, and I was almost speechless. 🤣 6y

Well played Frostbeard, well played. I literally JUST placed a candle order with them and now they've posted these on Insta and I'm gonna HAVE to order Lallybroch too bc I have no willpower 🕯

(Pic is from Frostbeard's insta)

MrBook 😆👏🏻 You and @BookBabe respond the same way to candles. 😁 7y

AlaMich I have never heard of Frostbeard candles before. Do they really attempt to smell like their names? I‘m thinking Lallybroch probably didn‘t smell too good, inside at least. What with the not bathing and all the smoke etc...😉 7y

swishandflick @MrBook the obsession is real!! 😂 7y

swishandflick @AlaMich Their candles are my favorite, I have yet to order one that I don't love. Their scents are inspired by their names, and they list the notes on the front there, so the Lallybroch candle is whiskey, peat moss, and firewood 😄 7y

AlaMich @swishandflick Ah, yes, perhaps if I‘d been paying more attention I would have seen that right there in the label! 7y

Ashley_Nicoletto I adore Frostbeard. Oxford library is my absolute fav. 7y

swishandflick @Ashley_Nicoletto Me too! I haven't tried Oxford Library yet though, I'll have to throw that in my cart for next time 😆 7y

MKbookworm Lallybrock is great. Peat is one of my favorite smells. This lets me smell it without all the added smoke of an actual peat fire 👍🏻. Bookworm and Sassenach are my two favorites. 7y

Chrissyreadit I love Frostbeard candles. I just finished Through A Wardrobe. Sassenach next. 7y

swishandflick @Chrissyreadit Sassenach is one of my favorites! Smells so wonderful 7y

swishandflick @MKbookworm That's good to hear! 😄 7y

BooksForEmpathy @swishandflick So I just spent 50 dollars buying candles thank you very much 😘😘😘😂! 7y

Kappadeemom What is this??? Candles that smell like books? Oh law, like I need another book obsession 😂 7y

swishandflick @BooksForEmpathy ??? I would apologize, but it's probably more "you're welcome!" ? 7y

swishandflick @Kappadeemom YES! I'm a full on bookish candle addict and Frostbeard is my fave! Careful though, it's an expensive habit 😂 (edited) 7y

megt Oohhh Lallybrock! That‘s seriously tempting. I do love bookish candles. 😊 @Megaled have you ordered from Frostbeard before? Looks like they have some that would be great for you and Mama P! 7y

Kappadeemom @swishandflick So do they really smell? I hate a candle that you can‘t smell when you walk in a room. BTW, I‘ve put three in my cart...*sigh* 7y

swishandflick @Kappadeemom Yes, Frostbeard's candles are great quality! I haven't tried the "new books" or "old books" ones yet so I can't vouch for those specifically, but I've loved the scent of every candle I've gotten from them. My favorites so far are Winterfell, Sassenach, and Reading at the Cafe ❤️ (edited) 7y

sprainedbrain Lallybroch!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y

I'm weak. But SO EXCITED about my latest Frostbeard Candle order ?

Gatsby's Mansion smells like "champaign, sea mist, and daisy". How perfect is that?!

FrostbeardMPLS

BookMaven407 Gatsby's Mansion sounds awesome! 👍 7y

sloanghost Tell us the notes of bookstore! 😊 7y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I love Frostbeard. I have SO many of thier candles. 💕📚🕯 7y

kgriffith Book Cellar is such a great name 🤓 7y

swishandflick @sloanghost The Bookstore one is Mahogany, Leather, and Coffee 😄 7y

swishandflick @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Me too!! I've been trying to hold myself to only ordering new ones as replacements for candles that have burned down all the way. The obsession is real! 7y

BiblioLitten I'd totally go for the Bookstore one.💜 7y

EmilyReadsEverything I just ordered my first bookish candles ever last week! I went with CornerFolds Candles but Ive heard so many amazing things about Frostbeard 7y

swishandflick @EmilyReadsEverything Let me know how you like CornerFolds! I'm not familiar with them but I've gotten bookish candles from like 5 other spots and Frostbeard is my favorite so far (if you order straight through their website instead of on Etsy there's a reward program!). FromthePage on Etsy is another favorite ❤️ 7y

TheBookStacker Ugh I love frost beard!!!! 7y

swishandflick @TheBookStacker I'm a huge fan!! (My wallet not so much 😂) 7y

shelbyy So cool! 7y

Jess7 I want to know what these smell like? I‘m intrigued! 7y

swishandflick @Jess7 Reading at the cafe smells like a chocolate pastry and coffee beans (I've ordered that one before and it's a fave). The others sound great too, I've loved all of their candles so far! 7y

Jess7 Aghh I need updates when you receive them! I‘m super intrigued about them. 7y

Jess7 Also where does one purchase such cool bookish candles? 7y

swishandflick @Jess7 Frostbeard is my favorite, they have a website (Frostbeardstudio.com). And there are also a ton of bookish candle folks on Etsy! Another seller I like is Fromthepage 7y

Jess7 Ooohh I‘ll have to check that out! Thanks! 🤗 7y

Jess7 Do they last awhile? Just curious b/c they‘re $18/each for 8 oz - trying to gauge how big they are in my mind. 7y

swishandflick @Jess7 They say 40+ hours of burn time and I've found that to be pretty accurate! 7y

Ermagerd, Frostbeard is definitely testing my resolve to save money with their Spring candles! (Also nice to dream of Spring on this crappy Winter day, haha).

Must... resist... (But it's so hard! 😍)

swishandflick @MicheleinPhilly Right?! Crazy how we have 65 degree days sprinkled in and then BAM bomb cyclone. Haha 7y

MicheleinPhilly Pickles is so depressed today. She‘s been getting 2 hours at the park every day - 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening. Now she‘s just 😞. 7y

A new obsession of mine - bookish candles! I've heard wonderful things about The Melting Library but the turnaround time is a bit too lengthy to order from on the reg. Does anyone have recommendations for Etsy shops? Hard to know where to start 😂

JenP I make bookish candles but am taking a short break to restock and make new fragrances so I won‘t plug my store 😬 I think melting library has great fragrances and really pretty candles but when i ordered, it took 4 weeks to arrive so that was a bit much. Granted that was over the holiday season. 7y

swishandflick @JenP You should totally plug your store, I'd love to support a fellow Litten when you're restocked! 🤗 (edited) 7y

JenP I will say that i sell mine for about $14 per candle and that seems to be the going rate for soy candles (regular size). Etsy kills with shipping costs though. I will look through my prior purchases and see if there are any more affordable ones I‘ve liked from other stores 7y

JenP @swishandflick i just got a new label printer which means I‘ll be playing around with designs. I‘ll let you know when I‘ve opened again. 7y

swishandflick @JenP Thanks for the insight, super helpful! Ya, the shipping is killer, so I was hoping to buy a few from one shop to save there. $14 sounds reasonable - I probably shouldn't have called the Melting Library "pricey", it mostly just felt pricey for the 3-4 week wait (though I totally understand and respect the hand pouring, etc.) 7y

JenP @swishandflick she has a bunch of candles for $7.50 which is a bargain - if you are willing to wait up to 4 weeks. I think her candles are awesome but slow to make. I hand pour each individual candle made to order and generally takes me 2 days to ship out. But I‘m much smaller scale than her candles. 7y

Amanda.T I‘ve recently fallen down the bookish candle rabbit hole too. I‘ve ordered from Canterbury Road Co. on Etsy. Last time I ordered, shipping was delayed due to complications from Hurricane Irma, so not sure what the current wait is. 7y

Craftylikefox I don't think they are on Etsy anymore but I love Frostbeard studio! I have actually found a few of their candles at my local bookstore. 7y

kylienoele Bubble and Geek has some great stuff! 7y

kylienoele Sometimes the candles are too pricey, and I opt for the wax melts to put in a wax warmer. Still smells great! 7y

emtobiasz I have no idea of their shipping costs bc I buy them locally, but North Ave Candles does really nice bookish candles! 7y

swishandflick Thanks guys!! 🕯 @Amanda.T @Craftylikefox @kylienoele @emtobiasz 7y

megt Bookish candles are wonderful! I‘ve ordered from A Court of Candles (they‘re on Etsy and also have a separate website) and was really happy with the candles I got. @Megaled is my go to source for ideas on where to find candles so I‘m sure she can recommend more shops! 7y

I love candles and have been buying some bookish ones recently, so I'm planning to show them off along with my book posts (also would be good gifts for the #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange 🤗). This one is a Harry-Potter-inspired candle from The Bookish Flame on Etsy 😃

These were part of my boyfriends anniversary gift. I'm excited to smell ancient scrolls. Antique Books smells a bit like leather bound books, which I think is on point. #bookishtues #bookishthings #candlesandbooks

DivineDiana These are wonderful! ❤️ 7y

Melmar @DivineDiana they smell pretty good, getting that book smell is pretty tricky but I would say 2/3 at least make you reminisce. 7y
