Wheel of TBR #242, January 12th

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. For each week 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 3 or more times in month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 3 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it before the end of the month, 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. Each month I'll get a prompt from my Binge Read Wheel (either specifically picking the prompt, or spinning the wheel) and I have to read at least 9 books, though I can read more!

Of the books from the last week, I read Those We Drown by Amy Goldsmith, Bone Crier's Moon by Kathryn Purdie, Grace and Fury by Tracy Banghart, The Wildest Things by Andrea Hanna.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, the wheel chose Dying to Read. I read Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett, Locklands by Robert Jackson Bennett, North is the Night by Emily Rath, Four Ruined Realms by Mai Corland, The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, so I've read 6/9+.

Prompts Used This Week:
Audiobook, ARC Book to Read in 2023, YA Oldie, Been Putting Off.

Audiobook-Green-The Last One by Rachel Howzell Hall-I'm going to be getting this book as an audiobook from the library, so I'll read that!

YA Oldie-Orange-Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer-This book came out November 2016, so it is just over 8 years old, so I'll read that! 

Bonus Spin for Green-Been Putting Off-Orange-Creeping Beauty by Andrea Portes-I got this book as an ARC, but then I heard some negative things about it, so I've been hesitant to pick it up, but I do want to read it!
