Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! This week, we hit a section in Sloane Crosely's I Was Told There'd Be Cake that I think included one of her best stories of the whole book. But more on that in a moment.

Welcome back Buzz Book Club readers! We're plugging along through Sloane Crosely's I Was Told There'd Be Cake, and there were many more moments in this week's stories that I laughed at and related to. At this point, I do think Crosley's got the goods — but perhaps with more life experience under her belt, her stories will be even more poignant.

Hi there, Buzz Book Club readers! I know it's still June, but since we've wrapped up our discussion of Then We Came to the End and Fourth of July travel plans are looming, I wanted to give you a heads-up about the July book pick: Sloane Crosley's I Was Told There'd Be Cake.
The book, which is Crosley's debut collection of true-life essays, has been getting a lot of buzz in the literary world — and it's only building, as we learned this week that the book had been bought by HBO and could be turned into a TV series.

The buzz around I Was Told There'd Be Cake, publicist and author Sloane Crosley's collection of personal essays, isn't going to die down anytime soon: HBO has just bought the rights to turn the book into a series.
The essays cover a wide range of topics (Crosley locking herself out of her apartment repeatedly while moving, collecting plastic ponies, etc.), and it's not clear what direction the potential series would take. Crosley herself would only say that she could picture the project having "more of a 'Larry David' vibe than a Sex and the City vibe."
