Wheel of TBR #43, March 21st

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 Meant to Be Immortal by Lynsay Sands, Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins, City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read Chill Factor by Rachel Caine, Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, 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, left.

Of the books from my 1 month save, I started Wings of Ebony by J. Elle, 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, left.

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

Prompts Used This Week:
ARC To Be Published, Epigraph, ARC Published, Wild Card.

ARC To Be Published-Green-A Good Day for Chardonnay by Darynda Jones-I've gotten this book as an ARC, and it comes out in April, so it hasn't been published yet! 

Epigraph-Cyan-A Wicked Conceit by Anna Lee Huber-This book has proverbs and such at the top of each chapter, so it works! 

ARC Published-Red-Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins-This is a book that I got as an ARC, which has been out for forever, so it works! 

Bonus Spin for Red-Wild Card-Yellow-Zodiac by Romina Russell-I haven't read the synopsis of this book in years, so I don't remember really what it's about, so it works!
