*sigh*

I am in no mood to write posts lately.

Have you seen my left sidebar? more than half of my widgets are gone. and I have no idea how they just vanished. Monday last week, everything’s fine. Three days later, I posted a book review and I noticed how bare my sidebar was. *cries*

I contacted WordPress Support and I was told that they never track the activities of our widgets. How can they be gone?!! I’m not on a shared desktop (for someone to mess it up). I don’t rearrange my widgets that often. So what the hell happened?

*sniffs*

Imagine me trying hard not to let it bother me. But I was most regretful of my “2012 Reads” widget. I listed there all the books I’ve read this year, complete with links. Crap. *bawling*

Okay.

Let’s move on dot com already.

It’s my first post for Required Reading! And since this is my birthday month, I want October to be my first. *beams* Note that I did not include my Kindle reads here because, let’s face it, I might caress my Kindle more than I will these books. So, see what anything you’ve read before?

October theme: Mystery / Suspense / Thriller / Horror
