June 8, 2017

Greetings and salutations to the Thursday 13 players! We are looking forward to reading your entries today.

Thursday 13 is easy! Just a list of 13 things - because we aren't scared of that number! LOL. We don't care what things you list - it can be books, collections, photos, quotes, random thoughts - it's all up to you! If you need a topic idea, check the "Need a Topic Idea?" page near the top of the blog.

Join up with Mr. Linky so we can visit you. It's a great way to make friends.

Today's Fact

On June 8, 1949, everyone learned that Big Brother is watching you when '1984' by George Orwell was published. He introduced newspeak, thought-crimes, and Big Brother in his vision of a dystopian future. The book 1984 became a great literary work and an accurate warning of the "double plus ungood" rise of totalitarianism and surveillance.
