About 'Reading by Candlelight':

Originally exclusively a crime & thriller book subscription, Reading by Candlelight celebrates emerging Australian authors, paired with delicious beverages and locally crafted items. Every item included has been paired to the book or the author.

In 2025, we expanded with new genres, giving you the option to purchase a single genre as a one-off or seasonal subscription, or enjoy all three genres in a rotating monthly subscription.

Subscription Options:

Romance (January, April, July, October)
Expect heartwarming, tension-filled tales with a dash of humor, exploring themes of second chances, serendipitous encounters, and lasting connections.

General Fiction (February, May, August, November)
Stories of self-discovery, resilience, and human relationships—books that capture everyday struggles and victories with compelling narratives.

Historical Fiction (March, June, September, December)
Journey to the past with immersive tales of unforgettable characters, rich settings, and pivotal moments in history.
