Haven't we all cozied up with Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, and The Secret History enough times? This December, our book recommendations embrace the darkly magical and marvelously obscure. Prepare to discover your next obsession. Led by irresistibly complex characters, these underground stories conjure the ghostly, the ambitious, and the philosophical.

As November's chill sets in, it's the perfect time to curl up with tales that stir the soul and challenge the mind. Winsome Wicks invites you to embrace the longer nights with books that reflect our brand's unique essence of warmth and shadowy comfort. Here's this month's curated list of reads, paired with candle scent recommendations to illuminate your journey through their pages.

Step into the Shadows Begin by exploring the deeper hues of your home's palette. Encourage a play of shadow and light with textiles and decor in rich, dark tones that resonate with your personal style. Think of plush throws, velvet pillows, and dark wood accents that add depth and comfort to your space. Whether it's a smoky grey reminiscent of a foggy morning or a deep blue echoing the twilight sky, choose colors that reflect your inner world and create a cocoon of warmth for the cooler days ahead.
