Fresh bloom. Calm mind. Cooler escape.
Step into a soothing chapter with Planted in My Book by Burn After Reading®, a 6 oz premium soy candle hand-poured into a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted floral jar accented with soft greens. Finished with the vinyl phrase “Planted in my Book,” each piece is unique — no two hand-painted designs ever exactly alike.
Choose from two garden-inspired fragrances designed to bring your reading world to life:
🌿 Botanical Mint — Refreshing, uplifting, and crisp, this blend pairs cool garden mint with dewy greens and soft botanicals. Perfect for readers who crave clarity, freshness, and a little mental reset.
🌸 Gardenia Mist — Soft, airy, and delicately floral, this scent marries gardenia tuberose with gentle notes of rainwater for a clean, atmospheric bloom. Ideal for lovers of serene stories, quiet mornings, and gentle escapes.
Each candle is:
✔️ Hand-poured in small batches.
✔️ Made with 100% natural soy wax for a clean burn.
✔️ Scented with premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils.

⚠️ Note:
Each jar is artisan-crafted and hand-painted, so designs and colors will vary — making every candle truly one of a kind. Candles are blended and hand poured in small batches which may result in natural imperfections in wax surface during curing, color variations, or lettering detail and/or labels appearing slightly crooked or off-center — all common with genuinely handmade goods. We try our best to make the best product we can, but we're human and perfectly imperfect.
