It looks like stepping away from The Hills is really doing some good to Lauren Conrad's career. Not that she wasn't a celebrity in her own right back then; it's just more fulfilling for her to be an author. With two of her tomes already on the New York Times Bestseller list, she's probably getting richer for that too.
Talking to People, the 24-year-old star expressed how great it felt to have two novels out in the market. They've been welcomed warmly by the fans, and her celebrity status certainly adds to the value of the books. Her first novel, LA Candy, spent weeks in the bestseller spot and is being followed by its sequel, Sweet Little Lies, there.
But the ranking isn't what concerns Lauren Conrad all that much. What she really cares about, she says, is just putting her thoughts to the page.
"It's so gratifying for my second book to be so successful and it was so fun to write!" the former
Hills star exclaimed to
People. "The characters were already developed so I really enjoyed the process so much more this time around. All the characters have become like my friends now."
It also sounds like she's holding slumber parties for them with how she's described her writing process. According to Lauren Conrad, she spends time churning out her words while in bed.
"I just sat in bed writing and it was the best process," she announced. "Who gets to work from home in their PJ's?"
These two novels following protagonist 19-year-old Jane Roberts, who moves to Hollywood to film her own reality TV show.
Sweet Little Lies continues the story, a semi-autobiographical take on Lauren Conrad's life.
It's more like a less visually constricting version of
The Hills though. But the public's eating it up. "I'm just so thankful to my fans. E veryone is coming out to see me in the snow," Conrad said, currently on her book tour. "I just can't believe it."
