Literary candles
Great books make their way into our hearts.
Our literary candles bring their essence into your home.
We believe that home is better with books. From Shakespeare to Julia Child, we celebrate masterful works by connecting with them in ways that enrich our everyday experience. In addition to our literary candles, we hope that Bookish Mama’s articles on food, books, and home life will leave you feeling inspired. We know that a home filled with stories, scent, and something coming out of the oven can be a masterpiece of its own.
Read moreBookish Mama candles create a sensory connection with classic literature, evoking beloved scenes from our favorite stories through the use of scent. Each fragrance blend is inspired by a descriptive passage from the text itself and is designed to capture the charm of that timeless moment.

All of our candles and wax melts are hand-poured and use 100% soy wax made from soybeans grown in the U.S. None of our products contain petroleum-based paraffin wax. Sustainable bamboo lids top each candle, braided cotton wicks contain no lead or zinc, and all fragrance oils are phthalate-free.
