Wheel of TBR #58, July 4th

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 Saga, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan, Illustrated by Fiona Staples, Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence, Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard.

Of the books from the monthly roll, I read Witchshadow by Susan Dennard, The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed, and I started Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by Diana Gabaldon, so I have A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab, left, but I'm pulling a trade, this time a two for one, because it's a long book, and I chose short ones, ones that I've already read! 

For the rewards, and I have 3(+1)/4 needed for the next reward, and I have 5 rewards saved up.

I'm moving August 1st. Which means that my time is going to be taken up by that, so I'm not going to be able to read a lot of books that the wheel could help me pick. So instead, I'm going to pick prompts that fit what I want to read for July, and the first 2 weeks of August to let me settle in. Yeah.

Start a Series, Variety Prompt, Reread, ARC-NetGalley, ARC-Edelweiss, Newly Published, My Initials, Stand Alone, ARC To Be Published, Book Battle.
