Wheel of TBR #21, October 18th

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 Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson, and Under Different Stars by Amy A. Bartol.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read  Blood Rites by Jim Butcher, so I have Ill Wind by Rachel Caine, There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool, The Veil by Chloe Neill, Sherwood by Meagan Spooner, Shadowsong by S. Jae-Jones.

This week I didn't read the past wheel picks, 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.

For the rewards, I have 2 reward saved up still, and I have 2 (+1?)/4 needed for the next reward. 

Prompts Used This Week:
Blurbed, Reading Challenge Prompt, New Author.

Blurbed-Red-Beyond the Black Door by A.M. Strickland-The back of this book is blurbed by Margaret Rogerson and Emily A. Duncan, and I've really enjoy both of their books, and I can't wait to read this book! 

Reading Challenge Prompt-Red-Has a Map-The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson-Like The Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self, The Bands of Mourning has a map of the continent, as well as of a city, so it fulfills this prompt! 

New Author-Azure-Fortuna by Kristyn Merbeth-I'm using one of my rewards to double up this book, which was previously used as a wheel prompt for Beautiful Cover. But I've also never read a book by Kristyn Merbeth, so she's a new author to me.
