Wheel of TBR #51, May 16th

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 The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, Lore Olympus, Season 1 by Rachel Smythe, and I started To Best the Boys by Mary Weber.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read Dreaming Death by Heather Graham, so I have Witches Steeped in Gold by Ciannon Smart, The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody, The Valiant by Lesley Livingston, Nexus by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings, The Once and Future Queen by Clara O'Connor, Dating The Undead by Juliet Lyons, Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen, Zenith by Lindsay Cummings and Sasha Alsberg, Pushing Perfect by Michelle Falkoff, The Good Girls by Claire Eliza Bartlett, left.

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