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.
Of the books from the last week, I read A Stranger in Town, Night of the Dragon, and Loveboat, Taipei. I'm a little worried about the monthly rolls, since there's only 4 days left in the month, but I can always take a punishment. I don't want to, though, so I'll try and get them all read!
Of the books from the monthly roll, I read The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski, Faith by Julie Murphy, The Glass Queen by Gena Showalter, so I have Smoke in the Sun by Renee Addieh, The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala, The Survivor by Bridget Tyler, You Were Never Here by Kathleen Peacock, The Rest Falls Away by Colleen Gleason, left.
This week I read the past wheel picks of Among the Beasts and Briars by Ashley Poston, Good Girls Lie by J.T. Ellison, so I have 12 past spins left, Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross, Fortuna by Kristyn Merbeth, We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal, Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson, Twin Daggers by MarcyKate Connolly, The Summer Set by Aimee Agresti, Set Fire to the Gods by Sara Raasch and Kristen Simmons, 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.
