READ BY THE AUTHOR

The best things in life are really not that fancy. This audiobook featuring all-things-Reba invites you to get back to the basics of life: fun, food, friends, and family. In her first book in over two decades, actress and country music legend Reba McEntire takes you behind the scenes and shares the stories, recipes, and Oklahoma-style truths that guide her life.

The perfect gift for anyone who loves down-home recipes, the western lifestyle, heartwarming stories, and a good laugh from the Queen of Country!

Read by Reba herself, the audiobook includes exclusive, behind-the-scenes conversations with Reba and her family and friends! These interviews are available only to audio listeners. You’ll hear from:

  • Dolly Parton
  • Ronnie Dunn
  • Kix Brooks
  • Carrie Underwood
  • Lauren Daigle
  • Vince Gill
  • Luke Bryan
  • Kristin Chenoweth
  • Reba’s siblings

  • Tony Brown
  • Terri Clark
  • Hillary Scott

FROM REBA:

"To me, there's nothing better than sitting on the back porch looking out at the land that goes on for miles. A beautiful sunset and then me, just sipping on a glass of iced tea (or whiskey and Sprite) with my friends and family. I don't know what heaven's going to look like, but I hope it feels like Oklahoma. Throw in some beans and cornbread, and I'm all set.

"Okies know that the secret to a good life is to keep things simple and be thankful for what the good Lord's given you. That's what I want to get back to. Simple fun, hard work, good food, and laughing with those you love. Everything I'm doing in my life from here on out—personal or professional, doesn't matter—I'm going to have fun.

"That’s what I'm sharing in this book—some simple, not-that-fancy truths I live by and a bunch of good stories, photos, and recipes that go along with them. So if you're looking to slow down, get back to basics, and have a heckuva lot of fun, I think we're going to have a good time together. Come on in, kick off your boots (or leave them on, I don’t care), and learn how to bring a little bit of my downhome-inspired life into your own."

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Not That Fancy includes:

  • Never-before-told stories from rodeoing with her family to pranks with Brooks & Dunn to falling in love over a plate of tater tots
  • Behind-the-scenes anecdotes from her music and acting career, with inspiration on how to follow your passion, trust your gut, and take a chance on yourself
  • Lighthearted lifestyle tips on how to achieve Reba's signature hairstyle, plan a down-to-earth date night, throw an effortless dinner party, and more
  • An audiobook companion PDF download that includes nearly 200 photographs from Reba's childhood, career, and personal life—many of which are straight from Reba's phone—and more than 60 recipes for appetizers, mains, sides, desserts, and cocktails from Reba's personal kitchen, from friends and family, and from her restaurant, Reba's Place

Not That Fancy is ideal for Reba fans, country music lovers, or anyone who enjoys an easygoing western lifestyle.

Fancy Enough

I loved listening to Reba narrate her story. This is what I love about Audible!! Reba is just a person that loves people and can relate to someone who doesn’t have a lot. She is not afraid of hard work and has had her share of disappointments in life. I love her faith in spite of difficult times.

What a fun read!

I always appreciate when the author narrates the book. This is an enjoyable, listen, especially with Reba narrating. It brightened a couple of my days listening. No doubt that Reba is Reba and Reba is genuine.

Reba for President

Absolutely loved hearing Reba tell her life story. She sticks to her roots and wears her faith and her heart on her sleeve. It was refreshing to hear how down to earth she truly is. There is this thrown that Reba should be sitting on, because of all she has done in life to be this successful, yet she would rather sit at a picnic table being with her people. This world needs more people like Reba. She inspires me to be a better human, and mom. Reba for President!

I Have Always Loved Reba

Reba has been one of my favorite people since I was a little girl. I loved this little peek into her life. I am excited to try her recipes and there were a few insights and sayings that I will keep with me.

How much love and fun Reba has.

I loved every minute listening to this book. I also have it in hardback.
Reba I want to thank you for the chapter Nobody does it alone. 18 years ago we lost our mom, at that time my baby sister bought me the CD that had the song My sister my friend on it I've always held that song close to my heart since it was her and I hanging in there when we lost mama. Well on November the 11th one day before mama's birthday this year unexpectedly my baby sister went to be with the lord ,it has been a hard road,but Reba you telling your story has inspired me to quit feeling sorry for myself and get up and move on. I also know Patty wouldn't want me to do that. Her and I were travel buddy's we had planed to come to Reba's place , Im still coming and have a drink for Patty. Im going back to my home towns of Joplin and Neosho Missouri make it my stop going to and on they way back to Texas.My husband and I went and saw you in concert October 14th,2022 and I had such a blast the show was perfect. Just want to say Reba I love you and I thank you for being you. Audrey Bayes
