Wheel of TBR #258, May 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. 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 Soul of Shadow by Emma Noyes, The Corruption of Hollis Brown by K. Ancrum, Aetherbound by E.K. Johnston, Queen Demon by Martha Wells, Mistwood by Leah Cypess.

Binge Read Wheel:
For this month, I chose ARC. I read  Atonement Sky by Nalini Singh, so I've read 1/9+.

For this past month, the wheel picked Series. I read All Systems Red by Martha Wells, Children of Fallen Gods by Carissa Broadbent, Mother of Death and Dawn by Carissa Broadbent, Promises and Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It by Katy Brent, Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling, The Floating World by Axie Oh, Sleep No More by Seanan McGuire, The Innocent Sleep by Seanan McGuire, The Case of the Missing Maid by Rob Osler, The Never List by Jade Presley, Where the River Takes Me by Julie Lawson, so I've read 53/9+.

Prompts Used This Week:
A-Z In Title, Jax Pick, Number. 

A-Z In Title-Red-O-A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire-Local and Habitations have an O in them, so that works! 

Jax Pick-Rose-2-Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire-I gave Jax 3 choices, and this is what he picked! 

Number-Yellow-1-21-Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire-This is what the numbers chose for me, and that works out well because I want to reread this series so badly, which is why it was in the folder.
