Reba McEntire publishing first-ever lifestyle book

Country star teams with Harper Celebrate

Reba McEntire has teamed with Harper Celebrate, a gift book imprint of HarperCollins Focus, for a forthcoming lifestyle book. Set to release in fall 2023, the beautiful, full-color book will feature personal stories, food and cocktail recipes, and lifestyle tips that range from hosting to packing a suitcase. Each chapter will be centered on a theme from her iconic songs including grit, family legacy, being curious, and prioritizing the things that matter most.

“I’m so excited to partner with the Harper Celebrate team to create my first lifestyle book where I will share stories, behind the scenes photos, some of my favorite recipes and life lessons I’ve learned over the years. I know my fans are going to love it!” McEntire shares.

“Reba is universally beloved for her talent, humor, and unapologetic authenticity,” states Michael Aulisio, vice president and publisher, Harper Celebrate. “This book will offer readers a seat at Reba’s table as she shares her hard-earned wisdom on what it means to live a good life. And let me assure you, there will be a lot of fun had along the way.”

This will be McEntire’s third book, following her 1994 autobiography My Story and 1999’s inspirational Comfort From a Country Quilt.

McEntire recently scored her 28th Top 10 album on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with her latest gospel project, My Chains Are Gone. The country star’s latest gospel project was released March 25th and made its debut at No. 9 on the chart. The album also made a Billboard No. 1 Current Country Album debut and landed at No. 2 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart.

A DVD featuring a portion of the long requested recording of Reba’s 2017 first ever solo headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville was released at the same time. The special combines footage from that historic night along with newly captured 2021 performances recorded at Clementine in Nashville, TN.

The multi-faceted country singer recently earned her 60th Top 10 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, extending her record for the most Top 10 hits among female artists. Reba’s Top 10 success spans across five straight decades and lands her alongside only George Jones, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton in the achievement.

Last month, Reba recently wrapped her Reba: Live in Concert arena tour with sold out crowds over the 20 date trek. Brandy Clark, Hannah Dasher, Caylee Hammack, Reyna Roberts, Cailtyn Smith, Brittney Spencer and Tenille Townes all opened for the redheaded superstar.

Last fall, Reba announced the development of Reba’s Place, a restaurant, bar, live music venue and retail store that’s set to open in Atoka, Oklahoma later this year.
