Events

We’re beyond excited to welcome Montana’s own (and our dear friend) Russell Rowland to Isle of Books on Friday, March 28th at 6:30 PM!

Russell will be sharing stories from his newest book BE A MAN: Raised in the Shadow of Cowboys – a heartfelt memoir about growing up in the West and navigating what masculinity means when you’re surrounded by men of few words.

You might already know Russell as the talented author behind eight books, including the beloved Fifty-Six Counties and the critically-acclaimed Arbuckle trilogy. He’s been capturing Montana’s spirit and stories for years, and we’re thrilled to have him stop by for this special evening.

The details:

  • When: Friday, March 28th, 2025, 6:30 PM
  • Where: Isle of Books, 511 W. Mendenhall, Bozeman
  • What else: Snacks and refreshments (because books and snacks go together perfectly!)

This is sure to be a beautiful and interesting night of stories, conversation, and community. Russell’s down-to-earth approach and honest storytelling always make for memorable events, and we can’t wait to share this evening with you all.

Bring your friends, bring your questions, and lets explore unspoken codes of western masculinity together.

    A discussion with Alix Christie, author of The Shining Mountains

    7:00 PM-8:00 PM
    June 22, 2023
    Isle of Books Bozeman
    511 W Mendenhall St. Bozeman, MT 59715

    Join us in welcoming Alix Christie author of ‘The Shining Mountains’ to Isle of Books, Thursday, June 22nd at 7:00 pm. Christie’s rich and beautiful historic novel centers on the life of a young Scotsman, Angus Macdonald, who’s contracted to British masters to trade for fur. Through her work, Christie touches on the complexity developing in mid 1800s Rocky Mountain West, a land soon to be fractured by competing claims: between British fur traders, American settlers, and the Indigenous populations who have lived for millennia.

    Alix Christie grew up in California, Montana, and British Columbia and is a prize-winning journalist and author of novels, reportage, and short stories. Christie will be discussing accuracy in historical fiction, family, and the necessity of storytelling.
