The Reading Frenzy discussion

I've been waiting all year for the moment when I could welcome everyone to the fall season and we are finally here! I can't wait to share some of the fun things we'll be hosting this year but until then here are the prompts for this round of Wheel of TBR:

The Prompts

Spin #1



Spin #2



Spin #3



★ let me know if you need help finding ChatGPT. If you google it and scroll down a bit you'll find a link that directs you the site where you can use ChatGPT without downloading the app. You can play around with it but the more specific you are about the type of book you're looking for the better.

Spin #4



Spin #5



Ok everyone go forth and build those TBR's. I'm sorry I am late posting this month but I do appreciate your patience!

This should be a fun one (everything is available as an audiobook from my library with 4 weeks or less wait times)
1. Nighttime on the cover: In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
2. Read a book with a fun/interesting dedication: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. Use ChatGPT to get a book recommendation: The Thursday Murder Club (it actually suggested two other books on my want to read list, and two others that I already read and liked)
4. A book with a title that is a complete sentence: Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
5. A weapon of some kind on the cover: A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, Book 2

Alright, September has got to be good!

1. Night time on the cover
Night Sweats: A Novel
2. Fun or interesting dedication

3. ChatGPT book recommendation
The Girl Next Door
4. Complete sentence as a title
No One Can Hear You Scream
5. Weapon of some kind on the cover
A Game of Fate

So… school is kicking my butt and stealing all my reading time but I’m going to be optimistic and pretend I can still read books haha here we go:

1. & 5. (Night time + weapon on the cover): The Red Scrolls of Magic ✅
2. Fun dedication: Black Heart ✅
3. Chat GPT: The Haunting of Tram Car 015
4. How Does It Feel? ✅

I finished prompt #1 with [book:In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin, and I'm about halfway through Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (currently waiting to get it back from the library). I realized that A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, Book 2 is about 32 hours on audio, so decided to switch prompt #5 to Finding Mr. Write, which I'm hoping to get from the library before the end of the month. We'll see what else I finish, because this semester is kicking my butt (but In the Garden of Beasts was my 70th book read this year, which is an insane accomplishment!!)

So, now that it is the end of the month, I ended up finishing two prompts. I completed [book:In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, #2). I liked both, and began two of the other books I picked up for prompts and had to return to the library. I doubt that I'll be reading much more in October, due to school, but I can always try.
