Wheel of TBR #42, March 14th

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 Grimspace by Ann Aguirre, Truthwitch by Susan Dennard, and I started The Diviners by Libba Bray.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read Curse of the Divine by by Kim Smejkal, so I have The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid, Havenfall by Sara Holland, Tears of Frost by Bree Barton, Kingdom of Shadow and Light by Karen Marie Moning, Black River Falls by Jeff Hirsch, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Chill Factor by Rachel Caine left.

Of the books from my 1 month save, I didn't read any, so I have The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody, Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd, Here So Far Away by Hadley Dyer, One Perfect Summer by Brenda Novak, Wings of Ebony by J. Elle left.

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

Prompts Used This Week:
Even Chapters, Month, Goodreads Choice Book.

Even Chapters-Blue-Meant to Be Immortal by Lynsay Sands-This book has 20 chapters, which is an even number so it works! 

Month-Blue-September-Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins-This book came out September 29th, 2011, so it just barely makes it, but it does, I'm so glad that it fits, because I need to read it so I can read book 3!

Goodreads Choice Book-Red-City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare-This book is a Goodreads Choice Award for Young Adult Fantasy Winner for 2014, so it works! And yeah, I got both of the books that I need to read this week!
