\"IMG_6946\"<\/a>If I had a five-year-old dog, I would calculate my pet\u2019s age to be 33 years, using a formula in which there are 10.5 dog years per human year for the first two years, then four dog years per human year for each year after.<\/p>\n

How do you calculate a book\u2019s age? I mean, are book years and human years the same? Five years may seem old for a publication.<\/p>\n

Most books go out of style or lose their relevancy. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case for Solace in So Many Words<\/em><\/strong> as we still need solace (probably always will) and good writing.<\/p>\n

I tried to figure out some significance for the number five and consulted Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a>. I knew five is a prime number<\/strong> but\u00a0 I also have come to find:<\/p>\n

5<\/span> is:<\/span><\/h3>\n

the third prime number
\na Fermat prime
\nthe third Sophie Germain prime
\nthe first safe prime
\nthe third Catalan number
\nthe third Mersenne prime exponent
\nthe first Wilson prime and the third factorial prime
\nthe first good prime
\nan Eisenstein prime
\nthe only number that is part of more than one pair of twin primes<\/p>\n

and<\/p>\n

five is a congruent number.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask me what any of that means. It sounds like five is pretty spiffy though.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the fifth<\/strong> birthday of Solace in So Many Words<\/strong><\/em>, which I can only think is a prime year<\/strong>, I\u2019m sponsoring a Goodreads giveaway<\/strong><\/a>. From now until May 19, you can enter to win a copy of Solace in So Many Words<\/em><\/strong>. I\u2019ll be giving five copies away<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

If you want to be included, here is the link<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/strong> to all the contributors and\u00a0 readers and reviewers and friends (and family) who have supported and continue to support Solace in So Many Words<\/em><\/strong> and this website.\u00a0 Wiki<\/strong> <\/a>tells me six is the smallest perfect number so it looks like we’ll have another great year.<\/p>\n

Peace, love, and solace<\/strong><\/p>\n
