Rebel Heart Books

In Pictures

This time of year, it's as exciting to see the the energy around #jacksonvilleoregon transition into the long, light-filled days of summer, as it is to watch the thunderstorms roll through as the weather warms. Here are just a few pics from the past two months of events. #May & #June have brought so much fun, and so many interesting folks through the store, that we just had to share some of it with you for today's #tbt. . . . In the past two-months, we've studied #healthyeating with Robyn & Geoff Randolph, as well as eaten lots of #cupcakes. We've learned about #hiking #Oregon's history with #WilliamSullivan, as well as #blacklight #quilts with Karen Hanken (which are pretty #metal, if you ask us). We've hosted not one, but two steamy, dreamy, and divine #romanceauthors in @authorkaseylane and @maiseyyates. #VictorLodato read from his acclaimed #EdgarandLucy, and @naughtya.mouse dropped poetry and #pulpnonfiction history lessons. We sampled postcards, vignettes, and snacks from Morocco with @artwordspirit, we #drinkanddraw'd, we danced, and so much more. If any of this sounds or looks fun, reach out and join in. We're always happy to welcome new friends to the #RebelHeartBooks Community! . . . #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #travelmedford #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #MaiseyYates #KaseyLane #fun
You all know how much we love quotes here at #RebelHeartBooks, so you can probably guess how excited we are about our brand new, custom designed & locally made by artist Van Granger, quote tiles and affirmation stones. The quotes should be familiar, as they've all been featured on our #RebelHeartQuoteBoard, and the the affirmation stones, are our #RebelGems, each word selected to capture an element of the #RebelHeart spirit. . . . And where does #Hokusai's wave fit in the mix? Well, to borrow the words of #GustaveFlaubert: “I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.” . . . #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #literaturelover #reader #quotes #art #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #maryoliver #DickGregory #ChiefJoseph #CSLewis #Virgil #AudreLorde #EllenHopkins #JamesBaldwin #JorieGraham #FirstAidKit #RalphWaldoEmerson #wisewords
We've got some fun summer reads in today's batch of #books, including: #TomWolfe's #ElectricKoolAidAcidTest (because @michael.pollan's making #LSD cool again), @writeinbk's #MNC (because a clever name and a chilling tale are a great way to cool down in the heat), @little_truths_studio's gorgeous journal, A Life of Gratitude (because there's something about the summer sunshine that gets the gratitude juices flowing), an @reesesbookclubxhellosunshine's selection by Kate Quinn, #TheAliceNetwork (becuase it's just begginging to be taken to the beach), @ellen_forney's Rock Steady (because even mental health likes to get a little loose in the #summertime) , Mathilda Savitch by #localauthor and store friend, #Victor Lodato (because Victor is as lyrical and floaty as a a summer night), #SarahVowell's Assasination Vacation (because it's vacation season and she's funny), @justinai's #DreadNation (because who doesn't want a powerful reimaginging of the civil war), a powerful new nonfiction look at slavery, memory, and the confederacy called Denmark Vesey's Garden by Ethan J Kytle & Blain Roberts, and finally, #AndNowWeHaveEverything by Meaghan O'Connell (because hot days and kiddie pools affirm our choices as much as they make us question them ~_^). . . . You'll find these and many more great titles at #RebelHeartBooks in #jacksonvilleoregon. Be sure to ask us for reccomendations when you stop by, it's our favorite thing to do! . . . #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #booklover #literaturelover #reader #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #travelmedford #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #whattoreadinsouthernoregon #summereads #summereading
@naughtya.mouse joins us for not one, but TWO, poetry-laced history lessons on the sweetly addictive nature of power -- the kind kingpins, wicked florists, and sugar-hustlers buy, sell, trade, and wield. The first, "There Were Four Opium Wars" kicks off at 1pm at #RebelHeartBooks and the second, "Coca Leaves, Cocaine, and Coca-Cola" starts at 2:30pm. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Also known as #JordanBubin, #NaughtyAMouse is an educator, scholar, and artist committed to and unified by his dedicated pursuit of truth, history, and the fact that real knowledge is power. #PowerToThePeople #PowerToYou. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ You can check out his work by typing https://tinyurl.com/y7rdg9hq into your browser!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #travelmedford #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #poetry #slampoetry #poet #whattodoinsouthernoregon #jacksonvilleoregon⠀ #finewhitepowder #fortyfive #history ⠀

#SpeculativeFiction is an umbrella term used to described narrative fiction that deals in supernatural or futuristic elements, and it is our very first #RebelHeartBooksSummerReading feature. Within speculative fiction, the traditional gamut of fiction subgenres (e.g. mystery, thriller, suspense, adventure, buddy love, family drama, etc.), enlivened with the presence of the fantastical. These are the types of books that make you believe in magic, bring you face-o-face with endlessness and eternity, and remind you that life mostly happens in the haze of limitless possibility - just like a perfect summer day. . . . . #RebelHeartBooks #JacksonvilleOregon #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #books #booklover #literaturelover #reader #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #travelmedford #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #whattoreadinsouthernoregon #IainMBanks #DouglasAdams #EllenKlages #RobertAHeinlein #AdrianTchaikovsky #FrankSchatzing #AlanMoore #NnediOkorafor #WilliamGibson #PhilipKDick

Hi Friends, we had a fun and busy beginning of #June, so our posts have been delayed, but we're here now and excited to share some of what's new around the store for the month of June! We'll start out with books, because it's books, #firstandforemost, #always. This month, #RebelHeartBooks is ecstatic to #CelebratePride. #Pride takes place every June and commemorates the #StonewallRiots, a pivitol moment in the fight for #LGBTQ rights and equality. We're showcasing just a few of the books we've collected over the year. Some, we've found on lists, some we've had recommended to us, and some are #JamesBaldwin, because James Baldwin #needsnoexplanation. #RichardBlanco won our rebel hearts through the Chautauqua Poets & Writers Series, and we ordered Unconditional by @telainae because we had parents who desperately needed resources. @katebornstein, a true pioneer, made our list twice at the recommendation of a beloved friend (who is also a therapist who works with youth), and Sarah Mcbride's #TomorrowWillBeDifferent couldn't be passed up. @m_e_girard, @laurie.frankel, @rainbowrowell, @wangstagram, @m.g.hennessey, @benjamin.alire.saenz, and @jeffgarvinbooks prove that #YA is bringing the heat when it comes to #queerrepresentation, while Queer Icons and 50 Queers Who Changed the World remind us just how much honor we owe to individuals who were brave enough to be themselves. . . . . #bookstore #bookstoresofinstagram #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #books #booklover #literaturelover #reader #southernoregon #southernoregonlocals #travelmedford #roguevalley #literarysouthernoregon #whattodoinsouthernoregon #whattoreadinsouthernoregon #jacksonvilleoregon
