Pop Sugar Challenge Update

I have looked and looked at this challenge and never jumped on it because I was pretty sure I would never complete it. Well, maybe I need something to push me out of my comfort zone. I am going to give it a try and see how if I can complete it. My first task is to find out what RPG means. 😃 Update: So I found out that RPG book is a Role-Playing Game book.

Call me crazy but I’m going to give it a go!  33/50 as of November 15th. My goal of 25 has been surpassed. Let’s see how many more I can finish.
