Image Courtesy CMAReba has lived a lot of life since her 1994 autobiography, Reba: My Story, became a bestseller, but don’t hold your breath for her next memoir. She uses the word “never” when we asked if she would consider writing a book about her experiences conquering Broadway in Annie Get Your Gun, or starring in two network sitcoms. It all goes back to what Reba experienced after her first memoir was published.
“There was stuff on there that I wish I hadn’t have said, and I got my facts wrong,” Reba says, “and it’s so embarrassing when people come up to you and say, ‘You know, that didn’t happen that way.’ I said, ‘You know what, go write your own book. Then you can tell it the way you want to.'”
Reba goes on to say she could only write what she knew back in 1994, and she admits, “Oh my gosh, it was hard.”
This proclamation doesn’t mean you won’t see Reba’s name in the new releases section at the bookstore again. She adds, “I’d like to write a book, but not a story about me.”
Reba prefers to let her music do the talking these days. Her new album, Love Somebody, is due out April 14 featuring the lead single, “Going Out Like That.” Look for Reba to perform on the 50th Annual ACM Awards a few days later on Sunday, April 19. The show airs that night at 8 ET on CBS.
