a quiet chapter.
Books Girl Store is a small Wisconsin shop built around a simple idea: make book themed things that feel made with love. Hand poured candles, themed mystery boxes, and print on demand apparel for the people who light a candle before they open a novel.
Every box is packed by Stacy. Every candle is poured in small batches. Every print on demand piece is made just for you after you order, so nothing sits on a shelf.

Our Story
Books Girl Store began as a personal project: a place to share the candles, books, and small cozy things that make reading feel like an event. Today it is a growing line of book themed mystery boxes, hand poured candles, and print on demand goods, all built around the readers we love.
Stacy Brevard Mays.
Hello, I am Stacy. I am an author and an artist, and I love all things book related. I created Books Girl Store so other book girlys could get book themed merchandise that actually feels personal and made with care.
Every mystery box is packed by me at my studio in New Richmond, Wisconsin. Every candle is hand poured in small batches. I read every message that comes through the site, and I write back myself.
Thank you for being here. I hope a box, a candle, or a quiet chapter from the shop finds its way to you soon.

FAQ
Answers for book girlys.
Here are the questions Stacy gets most often about the mystery boxes, candles, and print on demand pieces.

Every box ships with one surprise novel matched to the monthly theme, one hand poured soy candle, a printed bookmark, and a small cozy reading extra. Themes rotate, contents are always a surprise, and the value inside always beats the box price.
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn, burn on a heat safe surface, and never leave a lit candle unattended. The first burn should melt the wax fully across the surface to avoid tunneling.
Mystery boxes and candles ship from Wisconsin within five business days. Print on demand apparel, mugs, and socks are made to order and typically ship within seven to ten business days.
Tees and pajamas run true to size with a relaxed feminine fit. If you sit between sizes, size up for a roomier feel. A full size guide is on each product page.
Print on demand items are made just for you, so they are final sale unless they arrive damaged. Unopened candles and unopened mystery boxes can be returned within fourteen days of delivery. Email Stacy first so we can sort it out.
