CANDLE INSPIRATION
Cuddle up sans garments, light this candle, and crack open your favorite naughty book.
Whether you're reading tales of forbidden romance on the moors, or philosophical tomes disparaging the patriarchy, this candle is sure to enhance the cozy, defiant feeling of being a bookworm apostate! It might even inspire you to write some new words of your own!
As a bookworm apostate myself, we created this candle because I wanted it myself! I was a Creative Writing major at George Mason University, and I love burning this while I read and write!
QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY
All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.
Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.
Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!
DISCREET PACKAGING
We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.
PRODUCT + FULFILLMENT DETAILS
The "Bookworm Apostate" candle is guaranteed to give you 40+ hours of burn time. It comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid, and it measures 3.5" tall and 2.75" across. The net weight is 7.1 oz.
Because all ExMo Candles are handmade to order, please allow a 7-day processing time before your order ships out.

While I wanted to write you a humorous and apostate review of this candle, along the lines of other reviews I have written for you, I find that I can not. For when I burn this candle, I can’t help but close my eyes and smile in nostalgia and tears as I remember lovely times with my grandpa and visits to tiny used bookstores tucked away in quiet side streets made of cobblestones.
Thank you for this lovely moment of memories.

This means the world to me, Shannon. We spent longer developing this recipe than any other candle because it was an emotional scent for me, too. It means so, so much that this brings up those feelings in you. Here’s to fond memories among old books!

This candle is my wife’s favourite. That is no surprise as we are both bookworms, and our favourite thing to do is light this candle and read our books. You can almost forget the fragrance, until you leave the room and come back in. It is then you are reminded that, in the words of Brigham Young, this is the place (to read a book).

This is my favorite, too 🙂 I’m so happy imagining you and your wife reading with this burning alongside you. Thanks so much for leaving a review! And for giving a new catchphrase to my own reading nook—this is the place (to read a book) 🙂

I love this cozy smelling candle! It reminds me of visiting my dad at his work when I was a kid and smelling all the really old books. When I burn it I feel like an old professor smoking a pipe in his study while pondering life’s big questions haha.
