About Us
I believe there’s magic in holding the right book at the right time — a moment that feels like it was meant just for you. That feeling has followed me since early elementary school, when reading became more than a hobby — it became a lifelong love. I wrote whenever I could, I dreamed of seeing one of my books on the NYT Bestseller's list. I don't write now, but I am still never without a book in my hand.
In our home, books are everywhere. We are a family of readers — each of us drawn to different genres and voices, all connected by the joy of stories. That joy eventually led me to start a book club with women I had never met before. Those women are now some of my closest friends. It reminded me of something powerful: stories bring people together.
Dear Reader was born from that belief.
It’s more than a book box and more than candles. It’s an experience. With every title we select, I ask myself: What if the reader didn’t just read the book — what if they could feel like they were part of it? That’s why our boxes include thoughtful, story-rich gifts that echo moments in the pages, every fragrance note is intentional and means something to me. Each candle does more than just smell nice, each box gives more than just meaningless gifts, so every chapter feels alive.
A Box for Every Reader, a Candle for Every Story
Dear Reader is our original box — created for grown-ups who crave unforgettable stories, rich themes, and immersive surprises.
Dearest Reader is our young adult box — crafted with just as much care, but with something I couldn’t find anywhere else: transparency.
As a mother, I wanted a space where my daughter could find books that both challenge and inspire her — without wondering if the content was age-appropriate or aligned with our values. That’s why Dearest Reader includes maturity filters and a “Parent Approved” system, so parents and teens can read with confidence.
Every box is curated with care, not just for what’s inside the book — but for who will be reading it.
