Dearest Readers,
Valentine’s Day may be the season of romance, but at FMC Books, every day is a celebration of love—whether as the youngest daughter of the commanding general of Basgiath War college, the gorgeous chef fresh from pastry school in Paris, or, most importantly, yourself! And this February? Well, it’s positively dripping with exciting updates!
(Honestly, things are moving so fast at this point, we could send a weekly newsletter, but we're restraining ourselves...for now.)
💕Mark your calendars!💕
Join us on February 7th from 5-8 PM at the Vespiary Book Binder in the Warehouse Mall for an evening of books, community, and fun! Meet the FMC Books team, browse a curated selection of our favorite titles, and snag some exclusive merch. Whether you’re here for the romance or just the vibes, we can’t wait to see you there!
📚Reading as a Pathway to Empathy📚
One of the most magical things about reading is how it lets us step into lives and perspectives beyond our own. Whether it’s walking in the shoes of a historical heroine, navigating a whirlwind romance as an LGBTQ+ protagonist, or discovering the joys and challenges of a culture different from yours, stories are bridges that connect us. Every turn of the page deepens our understanding of others, fostering empathy and kindness in a way that only great books can. After all, every perspective is a love story waiting to be told.

🖤Celebrating Black Voices🖤 February is Black History Month, and we’re honored to spotlight the incredible contributions of Black authors to the romance genre. From sultry slow burns to laugh-out-loud rom-coms, Black storytellers continue to expand and enrich the world of romance with their unique perspectives and unforgettable characters. |

🏳️🌈Love, Pride, and Books🏳️🌈 FMC might stand for “Female Main Character,” but our mission is to empower everyone to take the lead in their story. Women, LGBTQ+ folks, and anyone looking for a cozy nook to celebrate the power of love in all its glorious forms—and we are so happy you're here. |
