robertina Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This is what Mika tweeted today: "I'm working on my first book, stories, thoughts, music: my life. Thanks Rizzoli Libri!" The book should be out in Autumn. Rizzoli is one of the biggest publishing in Italy. I thought this deserved its own thread so, meanwhile we get more info....a penny for your thoughts!

robertina Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Quoting myself about the book, when I met Italian blogger Selvaggia Lucarelli, she told me that Mika is writing his life story with her editor, and she thought we fans knew about it.I said that we didn't, so I thought it was a bit of a secret and we were not supposed to know. Now I think we can say that it'll be a book in italian, co-written with an italian editor and published by an italian publisher. I don't know more than this.

Elwendin Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well done. We totally need a thread. Well, how could I be not happy? I'm excited Yeah, I know. He's not writing totally on his own (a co-writer is around), we don't even know if he's writing in english or italian (I think he will go for english, even though I don't think he's writing a proper text in english, maybe only notes and stuff. If there are people helping him, he doesn't need to. He just can let his ideas pop up, in english, and then have them written properly by someone else), he has an album to finish, he won't be totally honest, etc etc. I know. And I don't give a rat ass. I'm HAPPY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alireine Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Happy :wub2: And now, sorry but I have to leave to learn Italian. Because, yes, I'm sure it will be in Italian And that's ok for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I find this really exciting Yes, it's (probably) in Italian, and of course we already know the basic facts. Still, I've always wanted him to write his thoughts and this is a start. We never know, there might be an English version later. In any case it's an official story and he has approved everything it says Thanks for the thread, Robi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertina Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 from MIKA's fb page, geotagged I think MIKA Abbiamo un annuncio importante da farvi! Dopo l'esperienza con la rubrica fissa sulla rivista italiana XL, Mika ha deciso di continuare a scrivere, concedendosi uno spazio tutto suo, molto intimo e personale: un libro! Titolo, formato, contenuti, data di uscita e modalità di acquisto in Italia e all'estero restano una sorpresa che potrete scoprire solo in autunno, quando il libro uscirà per Rizzoli. Per ora parlano chiaro le parole di Mika: "Questo libro per me è una cosa molto importante perché per la prima volta posso raccogliere tutti i miei pensieri, la mia storia, la mia musica. In una parola sola, la mia vita. Questo è un grande regalo che mi fa Rizzoli e un grandissimo piacere personale che voglio condividere con i miei fan". translatorsssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an important announcement to do! After the experience with the regular column in the Italian magazine XL, Mika has decided to continue to write, allowing himself a space of his own, very personal and intimate: a book! Title, format, contents, release date and mode of purchase in Italy and abroad will remain a surprise that you can find only in autumn, when the book will be published by Rizzoli. For now, we have only Mika's words about it: "This book for me is a very important thing because for the first time I can collect all my thoughts, my story, my music. In a word, my life. This is a big gift that Rizzoli makes me and a great personal pleasure that I want to share with my fans. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
