Weekend Reads + Epic Knitting Fail (after 15 years of knitting!)

Bonjour mes amis :)  I hope you all had a great week, and a relaxing weekend.  I had a very stressful week filled with lots of work.  And I officially hate my folklore class.  The teacher is impossible.  I have to reprint my paper (it's ungraded until I do) because I didn't put a word count on the title page.  WTF??  I've written tons of research papers and never have I ever been forced to put in a word count.  And seriously.  Couldn't she just take off a few points for that instead of making me waste more paper??  It's crazy.  She also handed back my preliminary bibliography (which is lame anyway, since it's just a list of sources we are going to look at for our next paper..) and said it didn't follow MLA format.  Um....seriously?  I've written enough bibliographies to know how to write one.  I even used her "how to write an MLA bibliography" sheet that she gave us.  I think she's just crazy.

On to something happier though.  And much less stressful.

I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peel Pie Society last night!  I LOVED it!  It is seriously going down as one of my all-time favorite reads.  I'll have a raving review posted soon.  I also got a review book in the mail that I won from LibraryThing.com.  It's called The Lost Child.  I've heard mixed reviews of it and I'm looking forward to reading it and seeing how I feel about it. 

Oh and after knitting for....like 15 years.....I came to the conclusion yesterday while waiting for my Gramma to get out of Dialysis that I'm a failure.  I'm almost (was almost) done with the second sock in a pair for my mom.  Yesterday in the waiting room I was apparently in my own little world, and I slipped half my stitches off a needle.  Epic Fail.  I'm good at picking up lost stitches, except for this was a whole row of them.  And I picked them up, but it looks terrible.  I'm just going to have to frog the whole sock :'(  I'm very upset.

What has everyone else been reading this week?
