Book Review & Giveaway: 7 The Number for Happiness

Do you have a lucky number? Is it number 7? I just finished reading the book : 7 The Number for Happiness, Love, And Success. by Jacqueline Leo. The book was really fun to read. I loved all the interesting and unique facts.

From the Publisher:
What is it about the number seven that has such a hold on us? Why are there seven deadly sins? Seven days of the week? Seven wonders of the world, seven colors of the spectrum, seven ages of man, and seven sister colleges? Why can we hold seven numbers or words in our working memory--but no more? Author Jackie Leo explores everything about this mystical, magical, useful, and fun number in her new book.
