We're officially starting our 7th round of Wheel of TBR! I've had a blast so far and look forward to keeping the momentum going. We have a nice easy month ahead of us- I didn't land on any multiple colors so just four prompts this round. I hope you guys will consider participating in the other fun stuff we have going on this month and challenge yourself to find books that'll fulfill multiple prompts!

The Prompts:

Spin #1



Spin #2



♥For me a "fancy" chapter header is any type of design element, big or small. It could have a little flower under the chapter title/number or a full-blown image.

Spin #3



Spin #4



♥ You know the ones I mean- the wonderful paperbacks with a great flop- they lay open all on their own- gotta love the flop!

Have fun choosing books for these prompts- and share those TBRs!!

Floppy paperback: The Last Séance: Tales of the Supernatural or Before They Are Hanged

Fancy chapter headers: Summer Rental ( I know there was another title but im blanking on it right now)

Nat (waterfallz) | 658 comments Depending on how this month goes, I might instead choose Joyland as the floppy paperback, because the copy I got from the library is even floppier than my floppiest paperback in my home collection (which was what I originally added for my TBR)

fungivibes Finally actually read all the books for the challenge! None of them were winners most of them were real middle of the road but The Good Son was just bad. Hope everyone else has a had good month too and can't wait to see what the new promotes will be.

Well- I failed lol. I gave it a solid effort though!

I'm part of the way through two books that have a house on the cover:

The Only One Left by Riley Sager The Last Seance Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie

I completed fancy chapter headers:
Summer Rental by Rektok Ross

I completed set in a different country:
Anatomy A Love Story (The Anatomy Duology, #1) by Dana Schwartz

as for floppy paperback I'm again in the middle of two books that could count for this:
The Last Seance Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie Before They Are Hanged (The First Law, #2) by Joe Abercrombie

In the end I completed two prompts and read I/2 of two books for the others..so I guess I read a books worth of words for those ones at least lol!
