Told with a mix of straightforward literary narrative and hilarious blog posts, a complete vision of the current state of entertainment journalism can be found within the novel. Famous For Nothing is a novel for the blog generation. It makes you feel guilty, and inferior, and superior at the same time. Hopefully, it also makes you laugh. It's about socialites. It's about wanting to be a better person. It's about wanting to be something more. It's about five girls. It's about new wave music. It's about second chances. It's a book that can be read in quick 5 minute increments, then picked back up again when you have another couple minutes. This is a novel for people scared of books. This is a novel for socialites, about socialites. So if the invites don't come in tonight, Famous For Nothing is here for you.

About the author
T/James Reagan
15 books16 followersT/James Reagan is a post-Empire novelist and playwright from New Jersey.
His debut novel, "Famous For Nothing," is a satire of celebrity blogs.
His second novel, "Empire Waste," is an exploration of New York's fashion industry.
His third novel, "Leeds House," is a cabin in the woods novel for the millennial generation.
His fourth novel, "lovetrust" was written while Reagan was in college, and has now been released. It provides a post-Empire view of life and love in college.
The story of "lovetrust" continues in Reagan's fifth novel, "beach house burning" which takes place 15 years after the first novel was written.
After deleting his popular tumblr, HBGWHEM, Reagan chose to adapt the blog into a novel, Hot Blonde Girls With Heavy Eye Makeup, which was released on September 1st 2019.
His seventh novel, Neon Blacktop, is inspired by the films of Richard Kelly and Gregg Araki, and deals with sweaty summer in a motel where strange communications are being received by the guests.
His eighth novel, Pushing Closer, is a quiet and caring novel about unexpectedly finding love after starting over. If you're tired of Reagan's genre detours, Pushing Closer is a return to his grounded storytelling about normal (but strange) everyday people.
