What's Included?
A book.
Hand-picked by Fiona (an emerging writer, voracious reader and lover of psychological thrillers) and Molly (founder of Molly's Cottage and a crime and courthouse drama enthusiast), the book will be a new release by an emerging Australian author. Where possible, books purchased as a part of a subscription will be signed by the author.
A candle.
To enhance your reading experience and transport you into the fictional world, Molly will curate a candle that you can light, relax and enjoy yourself. This fragrance will be brand new for Molly’s Cottage, chosen exclusively for the Reading by Candlelight box.
A beverage.
Taking recommendations from the author as a guide, Molly will select a beverage that is the perfect pairing for the novel. This will vary from month to month and may be a wine or a spirit. Alternatively, you can opt for alcohol-free.
A bookmark.
Hand-made by Molly, this seed paper bookmark has been created using florals native to the author's home. When you've finished the book, tear it into small pieces and bring some colour into your garden.
A surprise.
To keep the mystery alive, each box will have a small surprise. The only constant being a product created by an Australian artisan business.
An invitation.
When you purchase your Reading by Candlelight box you will receive an email with a link to our Facebook community ‘Reading by Candlelight at Molly’s Cottage’.
