Wheel of TBR #56, June 20th

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!

Of the books from the last week, I read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, The Dawn Chorus by Samantha Shannon, Pack Challenge by Shelly Laurenston, and I started Tomb of Ancients by Madeleine Roux,  and I traded Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence for one of the books below, which I did read.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon, Bottle Demon by Stephen Blackmoore, Questland by Carrie Vaughn, so I have A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab,  Witchshadow by Susan Dennard, The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed, Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, left.

For the rewards, and I have 1(+1)/4 needed for the next reward, and I have 5 rewards saved up.

Prompts Used This Week:
Series Number, Mood Read, Goodreads Recommends, Sophomore Book.

Series Number-Red-1-The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh-This book is the first in the Wrath & the Dawn series, so it works. This is is also the book that I'm trading with Prince of Thorns, so I've actually already read it! 

Mood Read-Spring Green-I'll pick this book sometime in the week, and I have a few options, like Chain of Iron, Bloodwitch, The Mask Falling, City of the Lost, Carry On. I don't know which one I'll chose!

Goodreads Recommends-Cyan-This Golden Flame by Emily Victoria or  Malice by Heather Walter-I got recommended both of these books because of Secrets of the Starcrossed. 

Bonus Spin for Spring Green-Sophomore Book-Green-One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston-This is their second published book, so it works!
