Bout of Books 11: Scavenger Hunt & Playlist Challenges


Scavenger Hunt 
Hosted by thebookmonsters
1. A Book that begins with “B”  (for Bout of Books!) - Blue is for Nightmares
2. A book that has been made into a movie/tv show - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. A series you love - The Ascendance Trilogy - The False Prince, #1

Playlist
Hosted by Lulo Fangirl

The book:

The Playlist:
1. Wake me Up by Avicii
2. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
3. Glad You Came by The Wanted
4. Girls Chase Boys by Ingrid Michaelson
5. Safe and Sound by Capital Cities

I tryed to go with what I read from the Description:
Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she’s not popular, but not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet, “good” girl who's always done what she's supposed to—only now in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change, but doesn’t know how.

Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe’s. Star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, on a fast track to a brilliant future—until he was expelled for being a “term paper pimp.” Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change, but doesn’t know how. 

One fateful night their paths cross when Wren, working at her family’s Arthurian-themed catering hall, performs the Heimlich on Gray as he chokes on a cocktail weenie, saving his life literally and figuratively. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are—and falling in love.

This was so fun, leave a link if you did any of these challenges
