Wheel of TBR #23, November 1st

I saw Codie's Book Corner doing the Wheel of TBR, and I thought that sounded like a great way to pick what to read from your TBR. So thanks to her! I'll only do 3 spins, because I'm doing this every week, and so it won't make up my total TBR of the week, but it'll be a start!

Rules:
1. On the first week of the month, I'll do 12 spins, for books that I'll have all month to read. For each week for the rest of the month, I'll do 3 spins each week to read each week though I do have the rest of the month to read them. Once a prompt is used, I'll randomly choose one from the list, keeping track of how often a colour comes up. If colour comes up 4 or more times in a month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 4 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it, then for my next week of spins, I have to add a punishment for each book unread. I'll roll for each unread book, and have to apply each and every punishment chosen to the week.
3. On the other hand, for reward, if I go 4 weeks in a row making my TBR, then I have one opportunity double up and to use a book from past wheel picks for a current week, that I can save for whenever I need it. Only until I have no past wheel picks. Once I clear them up, I'll have to think of an another reward. 

Of the books from the last week, I read In the Hall with the Knife by Diana Peterfreund, Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher, and Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano.

Of the books from the monthly picks, I finished off my month picks last week, so I'm good here!

This week I read the past wheel picks of Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson, We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal, so I have 8 past spins left, Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross, Twin Daggers by MarcyKate Connolly, The Summer Set by Aimee Agresti, Crownchasers by Rebecca Coffindaffer, Changes in Latitudes by Jen Malone, Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters, The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth, Master of One by Jaida Jones and Dani Bennett.

For the rewards, I have 1 reward saved up still, and I have 1/4 needed for the next reward, and I made it to the next reward, so I have 2 rewards saved up.
