10 Books and 10 words

The goal is to list 10 books and describe it in 1 word.
The last time I did this tag was four (!) years ago and I ended up bending the rules (link).
We'll see how it goes this time around

1. My Lady Jane --- hilarious, upside down
2. Archenemies --- superhero-esc
3. Ember in the Ashes --- mask
4. Daughter of the Pirate King --- piratess
5. Flame in the Mist --- mulan-esc
6. Naturals --- crime
7. Geekerella ---  geekerella fits perfectly
8. Eliza and Her Monsters --- art
9. A is for Arsenic --- poison
10. The Raft --- survival

Book Challenge Challenge

I've been trying to push myself to read more and expand what I read. So far though, I've been swamped with school and I tend to just grab one I know I'll like. So for inspiration I started googling around for a book challenge to complete throughout the next half of the year, and found lots!
So here for inspiration is a list of challenges.

Classics I Want to Read

Some years ago I started doing a "Read a Classic Every Month" challenge which I continued successfully for quite a while. But last year I ended up butchering it and I know this year would go similarly if I didn't do something differently. Hence this post.

So I've made a list of classics I'd like to get to, possibly even this year.
(I won't be checking these off of the list like I do my TBR and early challenge)


Austen: Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Lady Susan
Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations
Collections: Aesop's Fables, Hans Christian Andersen
Shakespeare: Hamlet, Midsummer Night's Dream

Other:
of Mice and Men
Animal Farm
Great Gatsby

Robin Hood
Around the World in 80 Days
Treasure Island
