Her sister Amy, however, isn't as thrilled about the idea of a book as she prepares to welcome her second child.
Amy hasn't been entirely convinced about the idea of joining season four, although she's open to it.
Previously, Amy told The Sun she planned to quit the show if the producers didn't cut down her hours as she felt like a "bad mom" to her son Gage, one.
However, Tammy's friend wasn't worried about her future with the show even if Amy did decide to quit.

Tammy's pal compared the star to the Honey Boo Boo franchise and thought Tammy could have the potential to go solo.
They said: "There are so many options for Tammy even if Amy did quit the show," as her friend fully supports the star on the idea of a tell-all book deal.
GO TAMMY!
The Sun exclusively revealed big updates on Tammy's progress in her Ohio treatment center as she hopes to complete her stint earlier than doctors initially anticipated.
Tammy's friend exclusively told The Sun that after her Instagram account was "hacked," she made a secret account for only family and friends to follow.
The star posted a selfie on April 27 from inside rehab onto her secret Instagram account after "disappearing" from her public social media earlier this year.
In another photo, Tammy showed off a painting as she sipped on a calorie-free Coke Zero.
She looked proud of her artwork, as she held up her painting wearing a black tank top and her hair pulled back.
NO MORE PARTY GIRL
Tammy's pal said that she has entirely given up smoking and drinking, months after she was caught partying hard on her reality show.
Though patients are allowed to go outside the rehab building to smoke, Tammy "doesn't even want to be around it," her friend insisted.
The insider also claimed Tammy hasn't had a single drink since she left for rehab.
Last season on the show, Tammy admitted she downed eight bottles of booze a week, leaving doctors fearing for her life.
She also openly ate pizza, vaped, and asked friends for shots of liquor in clips from the show.
In the season finale, she even stopped breathing for a time after a party bender.
MAKING BIG STRIDES
With all of her progress, Tammy has been able to undergo an operation leaving her with a smaller breathing tube, the source said.
The procedure, or tracheotomy, creates a surgical opening from the neck to the windpipe to allow easy access for breathing.
The source told The Sun: "She hates her trach, although it's gotten smaller.
"Tammy only has to wear it part-time now.
"She is doing very, very well and she will be out of rehab sooner than anticipated.
"Originally, she was going to be out in late August, but she's going to be out sooner than that.
"Her birthday is coming up in July, and she would love to be able to celebrate at home."
Additionally, the source shared that Tammy wants to do "everything she can" to be present for when her sister Amy gives birth to her second son this summer.
Tammy's friend concluded: "She's exceeded all expectations."
CAN'T DO IT
Previously, The Sun reported Amy was close to quitting between the pressure from the producers and being a new mom.
The 34-year-old star, who is pregnant with her second child with husband Michael Halterman, says she feels stressed filming as she's juggling her TV career with caring for their toddler Gage.
At the time, Amy told The Sun she was not contracted for season four of the popular TLC reality show and was waiting for the network to get in touch to start negotiations.
Speaking from her new home in Morganfield, Kentucky, she said: "I've been on the show for three years. At first, it was easy but now that I have Gage it's like, he doesn't want me out of his sight.
"I feel like I'm being a bad mom when I'm at work. He's always at granny's when we're filming and stuff. I feel like I'm losing valuable time."
Amy continued: "I don't really want to do another season because I'm pregnant, it's just a lot. If they cut down my hours I'll be probably fine.

"But last season I was working every day for weeks, plus renovating a house, plus Gage, plus Tammy, plus my mom. It was just a lot last year and I can't do it."
She concluded: "I can't discuss how much I get paid, but that's my main job and posting videos on YouTube."
