The Reading by Candlelight Story

How it started...

'Reading by Candlelight' was born from my love for reading, candles and supporting Australian artisans. I wanted to create a monthly book box that elevates the reading experience and supports small businesses.

By featuring emerging Australian authors, 'Reading by Candlelight' is my way of supporting authors at the beginning of their journey. I love being able to work directly with each author to curate their box and am so proud of the community that I have created.

What's Inside?

• A signed copy of the featured novel

• A paired alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage

• A seed paper bookmark

• A tin candle, hand-poured at Molly's Cottage

• A delicious surprise

• An invitation to our Facebook community where we share events, author interviews and more.
