Guess the Book!

Here is a fun activity to do if you are a book worm, or just want to do something right now! This activity is called "Guess the Book". You will need to have read at least twenty books in order to complete this game (any genre). NOTE: A lot of the answers can be found in some YA/Teen/Middle Grade books that are popular nowadays. Also, I came up with this game myself, so there may be some things that could be changed in the rules to make it better. Please comment below if you have any constructive advice.

Here's how to play/rules to this game:
-There are twenty words listed below (some of the words are actually a few words put together, as they are a certain place). They are places/things that actually exist in this world. You have to match up each of the words with a book title and it's author that you have read that has that word as one of the settings as the book. For example, if the word was 'Everglades', a possible answer can be Chomp by: Carl Hiaasen.

** Note- You CANNOT repeat a book title. Each title answer to each of the twenty words must be different. So, if two of the words were to be apartment and bedroom, you cannot put down The Battle of the Labyrinth by: Rick Riordan for both. You can do it for one of the words, but need to find a different title for the other.
**The game/quiz can be as many players as you'd like, or single player works great too! If you choose to do single player, and have a group of friends, you can compete to see who can answer all the questions the fastest, etc.
**Also, there will probably be more than 1 book that represents the word. Just as long as the word is a setting in the book and you haven't repeated a book title, that book is valid!

Please comment below if you have any questions, and also, please tell me how this went for you! How did you do? What answers did you get? Did you modify/change my rules in any way to make the game better? I can also send you my answer key through the comments if you didn't get something, or just want to see what answers I came up with.
NOTE: If you try this and enjoy it, you can even make up your own list of twenty or so random words, and try to challenge yourself in finding different books for each of them.

Also, please don't just look up the word in Google, and try to find some random book that matches up! It really defeats the purpose of this game, which is to actually think about what you have read!

Without further ado, here is the list of twenty words:
1. Navy Pier
2. Empire State Building
3. French Quarter
4. Palace
5. Train Car
6. Train Station
7. Rome
8. Amsterdam
9. Banquet
10. Cupcake Shop
11. Nashville Parthenon
12. Hotel Room
13. Meadow
14. Park
15. Swimming Pool
16. Mall
17. Dentist's Office
18. School Bus
19. Branches of a Tree
20. Dance School

Thanks for reading and trying this out!
