Happy Palindrome Day! Yad Emordnilap Yppah!

Today is, of course, 02/02/2020, so happy Palindrome Day!

What makes this one rather special is that it's Palindrome Day no matter where you live and what format you use for writing dates. In the month-day-year zone based on American practice, we had Palindrome Days on January 2, 2010 (01/02/2010) and November 2, 2011 (11/02/2011); and will have another one next year on December 2, 2021 (12/02/2021).

If you follow the benighted European day-month-year style (question: do the British have to switch now?) the last Palindrome Day was February 21 of 2012 (21/02/2012) and the next one will be February 12 of 2021 (12/02/2021).

But for this one day the world can unite in palindromity!

 

Although it contains no palindromes at all, my novel The Initiate hits the bookstores this Tuesday, February 4!
