Hello!
For over two years I have enjoyed handling Lemuria’s FEC and OZ FEC. There is a ritual to it–reading the books months in advance; discussing with all of our booksellers which books we should pick and why; anxiously awaiting the books’ release date so I can finally talk with other readers about another great story; meeting the authors and hearing how the story came to be what it is; and mylaring, wrapping, and shipping over 250 books each month. Some of the books we’ve selected are now some of my favorite novels–Paper Lantern: Love Stories, The Son, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, to name a few. But all good things must come to an end.
This month, I am handing over the FEC reins to Hannah and Austen. Hannah has worked at Lemuria for the past 3 years and is the fiction room manager. Austen is a jack-of-all-trades; from coordinating our ship-outs to receiving all of our book shipments, he keeps the gears of Lemuria well oiled. Your book orders and reading habits will be in good hands. You can continue to email them at fec@lemuriabooks.com. If you call the store, just let whoever you talk to that you are a member of the FEC; they will make sure your message gets to the right person.
I will still be at Lemuria for a little while longer, but I have cut my hours back so that I can teach English this semester at a local University. I’ll be moving to Tacoma, Washington in the new year and will join your ranks as a member of the FEC. I’ll have to get my Lemuria fix via the USPS.
Thank you so much for being a member of the club and giving me, and Lemuria, a community of book-lovers.
Happy Reading,
Adie
