Touch Home Screen non displaying recently read books?

My daughter's kobo touch is no longer displaying the last book she was reading on the home screen. I thought perhaps it just needed to update the firmware, so I did that, but there has been no change. Any idea what to do to get that working again?

Also, if I load the books onto her ereader with calibre is there a way to get the series info to show up? - Edit - Nevermind, I figured that out. It was under configure this device in Calibre.
