Wheel of TBR #220, August 11th

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 Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma, Arkangel by James Rollins, The Wren in the Holly Library by K A Lindle.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, I chose ARC. I read Stay Dead by April Henry, King of Flames by Kathryn Ann Kingsley, Wordless by AdriAnne Strickland, Foul Days by Genoveva Dimova, Monstrous Nights by Genoveva Dimova, The Secret of the Three Fates by Jess Armstrong, Illicit Temptations by Katee Robert, She Waits for You Beyond the Dark by Kristen Simmons, so I've read 11/9+.

Prompts Used This Week:
Been Putting Off, Series Continued and Unfinished/Current 2021, Retelling. 

Been Putting Off-Yellow-The Will of the Many by James Islington-I know this book only came out last year, but I've been interested in his books, and just haven't picked up anything, they are pretty big books but I want to read it! 

Series Continued and Unfinished/Current 2021-Orange-A Dawn with the Wolf Knight by Elise Kova-I continued on with the Married to Magic series in 2021, so I'll take that! 

Retelling-Violet-Scarred by Emily McIntire-This is a retelling of The Lion King (which I'm pretty sure is a retelling of Hamlet, I think) so I'll read that!
