What they say
I have been subscribed to the Wild Books book and candle subscription for several months now and it’s still the best present I got myself... I look forward to it every month.
I have enjoyed setting aside time for my book and candle so much that I have bought them for my very busy friends! Add in a warm bath and it’s heaven.
Thalia doesn't just do another Book and Candle subscription - she does a complete lifestyle movement with equality and well-being at the very centre.
Everything from the packaging to the presentation of the candles is beautiful and knowing it’s all sustainable makes it even better.
The Wild Books candles are so amazing! The smells are brilliant and I love the story behind them and how it ties in with the book. It really does transport you to another place.

Our Purpose
Founded by Thalia in 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic, Wild Books started with the simple mission of providing escapism for people, within their own homes, by transporting them more consciously into the world of books.
Wild Books is here to inspire people to read more by creating mindful experiences. Thalia is an advocate for the power of reading and her mission is to help others find that connection too.
