20) The last time you cried:

I have a very low threshold for tears and a pretty bad memory so I probably cried some time after this, but this was a conversation with my fiance after we went out for dinner last Monday:

Fiance: Remember that time we had Vietnamese food and we were taking a walk in the neighbourhood before I drove you to the airport, and the sun was setting and you pointed to the sky and you said, “wow, look the cloud looks like a bird!” and I was thinking, you’re right it does look like a bird. And then I was sad because I thought this was such a perfect moment and one day it’s all going to end.

Me: ……..

21) The last blog you read:

“August 2018 Recap” by Beth @ Reading Every Night. I am amazed that Beth read 11 books in August! She also reminded me that Wildcard, the sequel to Warcross, is going to be released on September 18 which I am SO EXCITED ABOUT!!!

– Your Beliefs and Opinions –

49) Do you believe in aliens?

Yes! The universe is so big, there are so many galaxies outside of ours, so it is more likely than not that there is another planet that is conducive to life. However, I believe that aliens will not look anything like what we’ve imagined. The aliens we see in movies and TV shows are still very similar to us, aren’t they? They have eyes, faces, and arms, which means that their bodies likely function very similarly to ours. If life were to evolve independently on a different planet, it is likely to take a very different form.

50) Do you believe in miracles?

I believe in happy coincidences. For examples, if I haven’t stumbled across a book blog during my early WordPress days, I might not have been swept up in the book blogging community. If my fiance didn’t want to do Nanowrimo in 2016, I might not have been inspired to do it myself, and I might not have gotten back into my hobby of writing, therefore I wouldn’t have started this blog. Et cetera 🙂

51) Do you believe in the power of positive thinking?

Yes! I am realistic because I believe that there are pros and cons to every situation, and that with the chance of success, there is also the chance of failure. However, I think that having a positive mindset makes us more receptive to ideas and opportunities that we wouldn’t consider otherwise.

52) Do you believe in love at first sight?

Nope. Love comes after years of knowing each other’s positive and negative traits, and learning to embrace all aspects of a person.

53) Can money make you happy?

I think the relationship between money and happiness follows the law of diminishing returns. We need a minimum amount of money to be happy, however after this minimum is satisfied, there must be other things such as fulfillment, purpose and belonging that makes us happy.

54) Would you describe yourself as a feminist?

I believe that women can be as accomplished as men.

55) Are you pro-life or pro-choice?

This is a bit too political for me. Skip please 🙂

56) Do you have strong political beliefs?

Not really.

57) Do you have strong religious beliefs?

Nope.

58) What do you think the most important thing you can give a child is?

… Food.
