Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Bookish Candles I'd Make. I'm a big fan of candle fragrances inspired by places - real or fictional so I love this topic! Here are 10 candles I wish existed.
1. At Bertram's Hotel by Agatha Christie - This isn't my favorite Christie story (or even close) but it takes place in a very traditional British hotel with tea and "proper seedcake" so I'm imagining a mix of tea and baked goods and maybe a touch of lemon oil.
2. The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick - Obviously there needs to be a strong bookish note but also with a seaside note and ice cream (and maybe a touch of cotton candy?)
3. Bodies and Battlements by Elizabeth Penney - The main character makes bath products and candles along with running a B&B that is on a cliff overlooking the sea. So clearly we need another seaside salty note but this time with lots of herby spa scents as well.
4. Picked to Die (and really the whole series) by Sheila Connolly - This series takes place in an apple orchard so a bit of fresh grass with a touch of apple would be amazing.
5. Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand - They drink a lot of tropical drinks in this book so tropical fruit, a touch of sunscreen, and a rum note.
6. Toxic Toffee (and the rest of the Amish Candy Shop series) by Amanda Flowers - I don't think I need to even describe it!
7. Beast of the North Woods by Annelisle Ryan - A frosty woods scent - clean cold air with some pine and juniper notes and maybe something dark and spooky like a patchouli note or something just to add a little mystery.
8. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery - These exist in many different forms and can be bought by the truckload from Etsy. I may need to buy a few to test them out. I think an Anne candle would require a bit of raspberry for the raspberry cordial and a floral note for the Ophelia scene but there are so many other notes required I can see why there are so many varieties.
9. The Christmas Tree Farm Series by Jacqueline Frost - Snow, pine, peppermint and vanilla. There probably are candles that smell like that and I want to find one!
10. A Bakeshop Mysteries by Ellie Alexander - Coffee and baked goods with maybe notes of chocolate. It would smell amazing!
What candles you like to have?
