👩🎤The Women’s Fair—Meet Us Where the Magic Happens
On March 8, FMC Books will be fully stocked and ready to seduce you at The Women’s Fair! After our wildly successful February First Friday pop-up, we’re bringing an even bigger, better selection of books and goodies. Come browse, chat, and (let’s be real) leave with way more books than you planned. We can’t wait to see your beautiful faces and grabby hands—thank you for all your love and support!

🤫 Hush Hour—Because Silence Has Never Been So Sexy
Missoula’s silent reading club is here, and it’s giving all the slow-burn, stolen-glance, tension-filled energy we adore. Just you, your book, and a room full of like-minded readers—swooning optional but highly encouraged. Seriously, you sit in a quiet room, often a bar, with 40 other people and after an hour- you talk about books. We're in LOVE!

🗓️ A Community Calendar—Because Missing Out Is the Worst Kind of Denial
Ever heard about a really good event... the week after it happened? Yeah, same. Enter Ciana’s brilliant brainchild—our brand-new Community Calendar! Now you’ll always know what’s happening, from local bookish meetups to the latest literary gossip and upcoming release dates. We understand you need a moment to recover from that kind of excitement.

🚀 OddSmut at OddPitch Brewery-The Only Kind of Launch We Want
Hosted by Christina Tripp—a certified bookworm and smut/romance aficionado—this club is all about great reads, lively discussions, and good times. Christina has handpicked a fantastic lineup of books, and she’ll be leading the way as we dive into them each month.
Christina's first pick is none other than Ice Planet Barbarians—aka the book that made everyone consider what they’d do with a 7-foot-tall, blue-skinned alien. If that sounds like your kind of fantasy (and let’s be honest, it probably is), sign up for their mailing list and join the deep dive into this delightfully spicy genre.

February Recap: We Came, We Saw, We Swooned
💋 Pop-Up Pleasure at The Vespiary
Our February 7 pop-up was a total page-turner! Huge thanks to Audra at The Vespiary for giving us the space to spread our bookish love. We met so many incredible readers—lots of whom left with books, and hopefully, a few spicy new fantasies. If you missed out, don’t worry… we’ll be back in March. Keep reading for the juicy details!
💐 A Blooming Romance—With Books!
Bitterroot Flower Shop got us all hot and bothered with their book bouquet starring the cutest little reads and an FMC gift card. If that doesn’t scream “perfect Valentine’s Day gift,” we don’t know what does. Massive thanks to Lindsay Irwin for this absolute stroke of genius! If you’re still in the mood to be wooed, the bouquet is still available here.
🔥 A Killer New Friend—Welcome, Katie McCormick!
If you love a book that takes you to the edge (of your seat or otherwise 😉), then you’ll want to get your hands on A Time To Kill by the lovely Katie McCormick—available on Amazon and KU. We were thrilled to celebrate with her at her release party at James Bar on February 18, and we’re already panting with anticipation for Lakeside Crusaders #2! A shop event with Katie is in the works—stay tuned!

That’s a Wrap—But the Story’s Just Beginning
March is shaping up to be one deliciously good time, and we can’t wait to see you in the shop, at events, and sliding into our DMs with your latest reads. Until then, keep turning pages and chasing those happily-ever-afters.
XOXO,
📚Your book-loving, HEA-obsessed friends at FMC Books💕
