October is here, and that means it’s time for us to break out our caldrons and start brewing our signature spooky scents. But that’s not all that the hollow moon shall bring, for with the tricks and treats of Halloween comes Halloween-themed books! From terrifying tales to romantic romps, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite Halloween books for adults to keep you company on these cold dark autumn nights.

New books, old books, red books, blue books, we love all books! But trashy romance novels hold a special place in our hearts; as can be seen by ourTrashy Romance Novel candle. When it comes to the best steamy stories to read in 2018, our list is a mix of the old and the new. With a few of the best romance novels of all time partnered with newer releases, our 2018 romance novel picks are pretty eclectic.

Fall is an amazing season. The leaves change color and fill our world with orange, red, and yellow goodness while delicious drinks are brewed with the season’s flavors and spices. We even get in on the action by creating our own line of book themed fall candles. What better time to curl up and enjoy a new series or get back into an old favorite? And this time, we’re not just talking about books, we’re talking about fall tv!

When it comes to books we love, the list is extensive. Books have a way of being there for you when you need them most. A book won’t judge you, it’s only there to offer support, guidance, or a much needed escape. Here are just a few of the times that books may be there for you in your life.

While we’ve made our name creating book-inspired candles, we love movies and tv shows as well! Especially book adaptations. And while our candles can make your home feel like your favorite fictional world, the prospect of actually walking through the scenes that you’ve seen depicted on the big screen or your television is enough to make any serious bibliophile’s mouth water.

Libraries are places to learn and connect. You can escape your woes among the many pages of modern releases or find new knowledge amidst ancients times. Here are some of our favorite libraries, and heads up, you may see one or two sites that inspired some of our book themed candles.

Every time we write one of these blogs our team ends up with full Etsy shopping carts and lighter wallets. What can we say, finding awesome bookish good from around the web is too much temptation for us to ignore.

Our TBR (to-be-read) lists are enormous. In fact, they’re so gargantuan that sometimes we get overwhelmed by merely looking at them. It’s times like these when we turn to reap the efforts of anonymous book loving strangers.

As a small business, we get a lot of question when it comes to how or why we do things the way we do. Why is it called “Frostbeard,” why are the candles all book-themed, why do you use soy wax instead of beeswax? We love answering our follower’s questions and connecting further with our loyal customers. So today, we’re going to do a deep dive on the how and the why behind our signature book inspired soy candles.

Fiction is full of interesting villains. From the wicked wrongdoers that populate children’s books like Count Olaf to classic foes like Sauron, a good villain takes any fictional story from good to great. Because without an antagonist, the main characters can’t complete the hero’s journey and then what would we be left with? Without an adversary, there’s very little for a character to do in a novel.
