You have to figure Lauren Conrad knows what she’s talking about in The Fame Game, her latest novel. Conrad, who starred in MTV’s The Hills and has already written a best-selling series for young adults, wisely sets her leading character, Madison Parker, in a reality show where she’s competing with three other girls for the spotlight and the paparazzi’s attention. Hmmm, sounds vaguely familiar. 3 p.m. Blue Willow Books, 14532 Memorial. For information, call 281-497-8675 or visit www.bluewillowbookshop.com.
