seven days of the week
seven colours of the rainbow
seven notes on a musical scale
seven seas

Snow White ran off to live with seven dwarves
seven brides for seven brothers
Sinbad the Sailor had seven voyages
Ian Fleming's created code for James Bond: 007

Read 7 books that feature 'Seven'

It could be a book or a series of books featuring a family of 7 siblings, MI7, retelling of seven brides for seven brothers, or any completed series made up of 7 books, etc

I think I am going to do either
seven days of the week and read a book for each day
or the seven seas and make the setting a country adjacent to each seas the Arctic, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.

OR i might re read the chronicles of narnia series - it is such a long time since i read those

Ah...Prompt 7: Lucky Seven...I knew this game was too easy!

There are 7 continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia.

1. Asia (Japan): Kitchen
2. Africa (South Africa): A Dry White Season
3. North America (Canada): I am a Japanese Writer
4. South America (Argentina): Fever Dream
5. Antarctica: In Cold Pursuit: A Mystery from the Last Continent
6. Europe (Scotland): Rock Paper Scissors
7. Australia: Every Breath

If I choose one book whose title contains the word seven (i.e., Seveneves, do all my choices need to have 7 in the title in some format, or can I mix and match? For example, a James Bond book, one of the books from the Chronicles of Narnia (a set of 7), but not all seven of them, the seventh in a series (e.g., Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows), etc.

What about seven books all published in July? Would that work? Another thought would be books published in 2007 or simply in a year ending in 7?

I like Bea's idea but I always find it hard finding books for Asia for some reason... Can't believe that Artic and Antarctica are sometimes easier!
