Dear Gremlins,
The hottest places in the world are known for eating the spiciest foods.
We think August deserves the same treatment.
The days are long, the sun is relentless, and your TBR has been waiting all summer. So we're turning up the spice with romance that ranges from sweet kisses to "maybe don't read this one at the public pool."
Welcome to a month-long celebration of love stories, community, and everything we love about romance readers. And at the heart of it all is our favorite day of the year: Bookstore Romance Day.
As Missoula's Independent Romance Destination, we can't wait to celebrate with you all month long...
and especially on Saturday, August 15-
❤️ Bookstore Romance Day
This is it. The biggest celebration of the year for romance readers and independent romance bookstores, and we are beyond excited to spend it with all of you. To celebrate, we're offering 10% OFF EVERYTHING in-store and online... including PRE-ORDERS! To learn the details, hop over to Instagram and follow along in our stories!
☕ 10:00 AM–1:00 PM Author Signings
Brunchy tea, pastries, snacks, and time to meet some incredible authors.
🎨 2:00 PM–4:00 PM Crafting + Official BSRD Virtual Author Panel
Make your own Book Bag Chain and/or Junk Bookmarks while enjoying punch, charcuterie, and a virtual panel in The Book Club Lounge with the official BSRD featured author panel.
🎬 6:00 PM–8:00 PM Jewelry and Movie Night
Ball and Chained alongside You've Got Mail (because some of you voted incorrectly back in June, and we're finally fixing it).
Whether you've been with us since day one or just discovered us yesterday, we'd love to celebrate with you.
Summer doesn't last forever. Neither do signed books, special editions, or lazy afternoons spent wandering a bookstore with people who understand why fictional characters occupy so much space in your brain.
Thank you for making FMC Books more than a bookstore. You've built a community that's welcoming, hilarious, supportive, and just the right amount of unhinged. Every visit, every preorder, every recommendation, and every friend you bring through our doors helps keep independent bookstores alive.
Stay Spicy.
We'll save you a spot between the shelves.
❤️
Your FMC Books Team
