FMC Books

FMC Books Be the main character. At FMC Books, we aim to be the cozy, dimly lit corner of the bookstore where your truest self feels seen and celebrated. What do I need?

Don't get it wrong- we LOVE her, but if Taylor Swift’s bright, polished pop feels like your favorite rom-com, we’re here channeling Stevie Nicks’ wild, mystical energy—the kind that invites you to dig deeper, dream bolder, and embrace the parts of yourself that others might not always understand. We’re not about perfection or predictability. Instead, we celebrate the messy, passionate, and deeply

human stories that make your heart race and your soul light up. We know that love and desire are as varied as the people who experience them, and at FMC Books, you’ll find a safe, welcoming space to explore what sets your imagination on fire. Whether it’s slow-burn tension, kinky page-turners, or stories that challenge societal norms, our shelves are stocked to reflect the infinite ways we connect with each other and with ourselves. Our own female main character, Tara, is a lifelong Missoulian that has been busy pulling all-nighters (accompanied by strong coffee and even stronger romance novels) to bring FMC Books to life. With deep roots in our community, Tara is no stranger to Missoula’s unique character, and she’s thrilled to be turning her dreams of small-business ownership into a reality right here at home. She’s pouring her heart and soul into creating FMC Books—a place where everyone can step in and feel empowered to be the heroine of their own story. You know, that one where life is as thrilling, passionate, and transformative as the best romance novel on your shelf. 

To us, empowerment comes from embracing who you are—flaws, fantasies, and all. We believe in creating a community that champions curiosity and respects boundaries. A place where you’re encouraged to ask, “What do I want? What makes me feel alive?” Romance novels, especially the steamy ones, aren’t just escapism. They’re a way to explore your desires, understand your emotions, and live boldly in your own story. At FMC Books, we want you to feel like the main character—not just in love, but in every aspect of your life. We’re here to honor the magic, mystery, and power of your unique journey. So step inside, let your guard down, and lose yourself in a story that celebrates the beautifully complex person you are. 💕

One year ago, FMC Books opened its doors in downtown Missoula.

We thought we were opening a bookstore.

Instead, we accidentally built a community of feral little romance gremlins fueled almost entirely by emotional support paperbacks, q***r joy, dark fantasy, friendship, and bad decisions made in excellent company.

Somewhere between the s**t, the crafts, the book clubs, the chaos, the vulnerability, and the very concerning amount of yearning… this place became home.

You built this with us.

You showed up for indie bookstores. You showed up for romance. You showed up for women-centered stories. You showed up for each other.

We spent year one proving romance readers belong here.

Year two? We’re taking up even more space.

WE WERE NOT MEANT TO BEHAVE.

June is looking a little louder than usual. 🌻📚🏳️‍🌈

We're turning the page into Chapter Two with a full week of anniversary celebrations, crafty chaos, snacks, movie nights, tiny book charms, temporary book tattoos, and enough community to make your TBR blush.

This month we're also proud to host conversations with Montanans for Choice, celebrate Pride Month, spotlight local artist .warren.art for First Friday, and cheer on everyone tackling the Missoula Marathon.

One year ago we unlocked the doors to this weird little bookstore and hoped a few people might show up. Instead, you built a community.

So whether you're joining us for a craft night, a difficult conversation, a celebration, a race, or simply because you need a place where you belong, there's a seat for you here.

Missoula, you've made Chapter One unforgettable.

Now let's see what Chapter Two has in store.

✨ Expect Happy Endings. 📖 Have you read today?

June is officially booked and busy. 🌞📚

Whether you're here for the spice, the swords, the q***r joy, the chaotic recommendations, or just an excuse to spend an hour talking about fictional people like they're your actual friends, we've got a seat waiting for you.

This month we're chasing disappearing skies, battling moths, whispering after dark, surviving summer with tiny terrorists, swapping book reports, and gathering every recommendation your TBR can possibly handle.

No quizzes. No pressure. No judgment. Just stories, snacks, and some of the best humans in Missoula.

Come find your people. Come find your next favorite book. Come be the main character for a while.

Seven book clubs. Seven chances to find your people.📚✨

Whether you're into sweeping historical fiction, morally gray monsters, fantasy quests, q***r romance, dark obsession, sports romance, or showing up with absolutely no assigned reading completed, FMC has a seat for you.

We're not interested in quizzes. We don't care how fast you read. Nobody is getting graded.

We just believe books are better when you have someone to scream about them with.

Come spend your lunch break talking spice. Wander into the WOods after dark. Cross swords with fantasy lovers. Bring your latest recommendation. Show up sleep-deprived with a coffee. Fall in love with something weird.

And if you've been standing outside the bookstore wondering whether you'd fit in?

This is your sign.

June is stacked with opportunities to find your next favorite book and your next favorite human.
