Lauren LC Conrad, star of the MTV reality TV programs Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills and fashion designer of the Lauren Conrad Collection, is lookin’ to add the title of author to her ever-expanding resume. Last year it was reported that LC landed a 3-book deal with HarperCollins Publishers to write her own series of young adult books that focus on a “a young girl who moves to L.A. and unexpectedly becomes the star of a reality television show” … which sounds awfully familiar to me. In any event, here is our first look at the cover artwork for LC‘s first book in the series, L.A. Candy:

Lauren Conrad: From The Hills to the best-seller’s list? The MTV reality star’s name tops the cover of her first novel, L.A. Candy, which hits shelves June 16. Conrad’s publishing debut is a fictional story about a 19-year-old girl named Jane Roberts who has not-so-subtle similarities to the author. “Roberts can’t wait to start living it up,” the official book synopsis says. “She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.” In the novel, the two main characters are approached by a producer who wants them to be on a reality version of Sexy and the City. The book is about “what it’s like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a girl who has experienced it all firsthand,” the synopsis says.

Um, so lemme get this straight. LC got herself a book deal to write a work of fiction about a girl who comes to LA as an intern and ends up getting a gig on a reality TV series … and people are supposed to be interested in something like that? She’s basically gonna write a fictionalized version of her life, which is already broadcast in TV form, and people are gonna wanna read that? What? I’m all for LC expanding her horizons and making as much money as she can but couldn’t they come up with an idea for a book series that was a little more inventive? Truth be told, this series of books is prolly gonna be ghostwritten by someone else anyway … are there no original ideas left in the publishing world? LC has already SWORN that the 5th season of The Hills will be her last … so these books should be coming out right around the same time the show ends … so basically, she’ll just be retelling the whole story of the life she just lived on TV in book form. I’m not sure if this idea is a stroke of lazy genius or just a travesty to the world of publishing. No offense to LC but I hope that young readers are able to find more interesting things to read. A book series written by a reality TV star about a reality TV star that is based on the life of a reality TV star sounds like a horrrrible idea. I have never been a proponent of book burning but …
