✨️Step into an evening where stories glow & scent becomes part of the narrative ✨️

Well-Read & Well-Lit is an intimate, after-hours candle-pouring experience designed for book lovers, scent lovers, and anyone who appreciates a beautiful, thoughtfully curated night out.

Hosted inside Bibliobar, guests will gather around surrounded by shelves of books, warm light, and the quiet hum of creativity. You’ll customize your own iridescent candle jar with book-ish vinyl stickers and literary tropes, then explore a collection of luxurious fragrance oils—blending your own signature scent or selecting from our expertly curated pre-blended favorites.

Once your scent is chosen, you’ll blend & pour your own candle and watch it take shape while enjoying the cozy ambiance of the bookstore. As your candle cools, browse, sip, and select one complimentary book from Bibliobar’s specially curated top-shelf collection—because every great candle deserves a great story to go with it.

YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:

♡ A guided candle-pouring experience
Custom fragrance blending or pre-blended scent selection

♡ A lux candle jar + book-themed vinyl stickers for personalization

♡ One handcrafted candle to take home

♡ One book of your choice from Bibliobar’s curated selection

♡ Sips & lite bites will be served (feel free to BYOB)

✨️Don't miss this relaxed, cozy evening of books, scent, and connection!✨️

🌹Introducing...another book club💌

All of our clubs have been started by readers reaching out just to say: hey, let's meet up! So everyone say thank you, Cynthia...for inspiring our Happily Ever Afters Romance Book Club😍

We're starting with Ladies in Waiting, a collection of stories about Jane Austen's Unsung Characters by a variety of romance authors!

• BROCCOLI & FETA SOUP

• CAESAR SALAD WITH FRIED ARTICHOKES

• EASY-PEASY VEGGIE CHILI

• PUMPKIN CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

In no time at all, you can start your own cookbook club to connect and create memories with your friends and community—all built upon a shared love of food.

Full disclosure, the book we picked for February still isn't here and we're still catching up after being closed for the storm and other catastrophes!

So instead, this month we're hosting a get-together with baked goods to hear what cozy mystery picks y'all would like to read this year❤️

Whether it's a new release or an old favorite, we want to know your selections! Come out and learn about our club and share what you want to see in the next few months.

We have author events planned for the future but for now...stay cozy!🔥

Let Us Descend describes a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. A journey that is as beautifully rendered as it is heart wrenching, the novel has been an Oprah’s Book Club pick and is incredibly well written.
