Wheel of TBR #165, July 23rd

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. For each week 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 3 or more times in month, I'll do another spin once it comes up 3 times.
2. If I don't read a book that week or at least start it before the end of the month, 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. Each month I'll get a prompt from my Binge Read Wheel (either specifically picking the prompt, or spinning the wheel) and I have to read at least 9 books, though I can read more!

Of the books from the last week, I read Sea of Stars by Amy A. Bartol, Darken the Stars by Amy A. Bartol, Quicksilver by R.J. Anderson.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, the wheel picked Reread. I read Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, Evershore by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson, The Taking by Kimberly Derting, The Replaced by Kimberly Derting, so I've read 18/9+.

Prompts Used This Week:
Title, More Than 1000 Ratings, Self-Published/Indie Published, Read a Book in the Same Place, YA Oldie.

Title-Yellow-12-Interference by Sue Burke-This title is 12 letters long, so that works! 

More Than 1000 Ratings-Chartreuse-Lore Olympus: Volume 4 by Rachel Smythe-This book has over 14000 ratings, so that works! 

Self-Published/Indie Published-Chartreuse-Timeless by Josephine Angelini-This book is published by the publishing company that Josephine Angelini started, so I'm counting that as indie! 

Bonus Spin for Chartreuse-Read a Book in the Same Place-Violet-Sanctuary With Kings by Kathryn Moon-For all of these books in this series, I've binged the books, so I'll be reading this book on my computer on my bed, in the same spot! 

Bonus Spin for Violet-YA Oldie-Spring Green-The Countdown by Kimberly Derting-I am stretching this one, it came out May 2016, which is just over 7 years ago, but that's long enough for for me given that this is already on another TBR, and I'm running out of time in the month to read everything!
