Artist: Reba McEntire

Reba McEntire will release her new lifestyle book, NOT THAT FANCY: LESSONS ON LIVING, LOVING, EATING AND DUSTING OFF YOUR BOOTS, on Tuesday (October 10th). “An homage to her faith, family and Oklahoma upbringing,” (Booklist) the book is an enchanting collection of funny, poignant and deeply personal stories, photos, lifestyle tips and recipes.

From the audio version of her book, Reba gives a little insight into what lies within its pages. “That’s what I’m sharing in this book – the simple Oklahoma-style truths I keep coming back to and a bunch of good stories, photos and recipes that go along with ‘em,” she says. “So, if you’re looking to slow down, get back to basics and just have a heckuva lot of fun, then I think we’re gonna have a good time together in these pages. Come on in. Kick off your boots or leave ‘em on. I don’t care and learn how to bring a little of my Western-inspired life into your own. Let’s have a good time, alright?”

Reba is determined to enjoy her life, both personally and professionally. “Everything I’m doing in my life from here on out – personal or professional, doesn’t matter – I’m gonna have fun,” she says. “Enjoying what we’ve been given is one of the best ways I know to honor the Lord. I’ve been blessed beyond measure, and I want to make sure to never stop letting God know just how thankful I am for the life he’s given me, especially those Not That Fancy things, because as I found, that’s where my heart is.”

Tomorrow, we will have more of Reba talking about her career in music, taken from the audio version of her book.

The Country Music Hall of Famer previously co-wrote a 1994 memoir titled Reba: My Story with Tom Carter and also authored a second biography, Comfort From a Country Quilt, in 1999.

On Tuesday (October 10th), fans can tune in to catch Reba on TODAY at 8a ET/7a CT. On Wednesday (October 11th), Reba will appear on Late Night With Seth Meyers at 12:35a ET/11:35p CT.

Reba McEntire (Enjoying Life) OC: …my heart is. :36
“Singing will always remind me of Mama, and I feel like she’s right there with me when I’m singing, but I’m also doing it for fun again. Everything I’m doing in my life from here on out – personal or professional, doesn’t matter – I’m gonna have fun. Enjoying what we’ve been given is one of the best ways I know to honor the Lord. I’ve been blessed beyond measure, and I want to make sure to never stop letting God know just how thankful I am for the life he’s given me, especially those Not That Fancy things, because as I found, that’s where my heart is.”

Reba McEntire (Learning, Dreaming and Working Hard) OC: …and go home. :20
“Most of what you hope for in this life takes time and some good old-fashioned sticktoitiveness. None of us in the McEntire family were overnight successes. From generation to generation, we just kept learning, dreaming and working hard. One thing I’m sure of, good things won’t come to you if you just give up and go home.”
