Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s prompt: Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make (Pick a book and assign it a fragrance or fragrance combo that would make a nice candle.) (Submitted by Heather @ The Frozen Library) I will note that I wouldn’t really want some of these candles in my house — it’s just the smells I imagine from the books. Ha!
1.
|| Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery – Raspberry cordial and plum pudding ||
2.
|| Any book from the Perry Mason series by Erle Stanley Gardner – old spice and cigarettes||
3.
|| The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis – pine needles and Turkish delight. ||
4.
|| Hell is Empty by Craig Johnson – Sulfur and overcooked steak ||
5.
|| The Mystery of Lilac Inn (A Nancy Drew Mystery) by Carolyn Keene -Um…lilacs of course! ||
6.
|| Apple Cider Slaying by Julie Anne Lindsey – Definitely apple cider donuts! ||
7.
|| Live and Let Chai by Bree Baker – Chai Tea with cinnamon of course ||
8.
|| Clueless at the Coffee Station by Bee Littlefield – Freshly Brewed Coffee with Hazelnut Cream ||
9.
||The Gardener’s Plot by Deborah J. Benoit – Freshly mown grass or freshly tilled dirt ||
10.
The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold – Apple Streusel cake (clearly)!

This was fun. I have The Gardener’s Plot on my TBR pile so I’ll try that as a book first. The Divine Proverb of Streusel also sounds wonderful but I’m afraid I’m going to be obvious and choose Anne of Green Gables as my favorite.

My dad has always worn Old Spice, so it’s a nostalgic scent for me. Not sure I’d burn a candle of it, though! LOL
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I had to laugh at the Old Spice and cigarettes! Mike still has an old bottle of Old Spice in the Money Pit…his old Ranger truck! Oh, how I hated that stuff! The only book I’ve read of these was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I thought this was such a fun prompt, and you did an amazing job with it!

Most of these are some really fabulous sounding scents; though I could definitely do without old spice and cigarettes!

Of these I only know Anne. Fun list!
No candles here at all, at least no burning ones. I don’t trust the furry brat around open flames.
