Wheel of TBR #45, April 4th

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  to have a grace on a book-if I haven't read it in the week or month I was supposed to, than I don't have to read it (though I'll still try and read it shortly thereafter). The reward can work for only one book. Which would prevent me from getting a punishment, but it takes 4 weeks to get a reward, so I'm fine with that. It evens out for me!

For my mood read book, I read Last Guard by Nalini Singh, and I did read it. But I did swap it with The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody, so there's that.

Of the books from the last week, I read The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson, Cress by Marissa Meyer, so I have The Once and Future Queen by Clara O'Connor, The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Soulbound by Z Brewer, Pushing Perfect by Michelle Falkoff, Zenith by Lindsay Cummings and Sasha Alsberg, Tears of Frost by Bree Barton, Reign the Earth by A.C. Gaughen, The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody, Kingdom of Shadow and Light by Karen Marie Moning, The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen, Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski, left! 

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read Black River Falls by Jeff Hirsch, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer,  Murder at Sunrise Lake by Christine Feehan, The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid, and I started Havenfall by Sara Holland.

Of the books from my 1 month save, I read Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd, so I have  Here So Far Away by Hadley Dyer, One Perfect Summer by Brenda Novak, left, so I using 2 of my rewards for these. 

For the rewards, and I have 3(+1?)/4 needed for the next reward, and I made it to my next reward, so I have 3 rewards saved up.
