d. Check back for the next giveaway! Today is letter L! And the books are Hip to Be Square and Altar Call by Hope Lyda. On her twenty–ninth birthday, Mari Hamilton, a worn–out recreation director at Golden Horizons Retirement Home, is convinced that leaving social work will improve her social life. So she seeks and receives a stylish position at a new and fabulous luxury spa. In addition, after countless bad first dates at hip clubs, Mari meets the perfect guy at Golden Horizon’s anniversary party (of all places!). But a funny thing happens to her on the way to a life makeover—a forced stopover in her past where she admits to the unadmittable... Through all her work and dating adventures and misadventures, Mari realizes that it was in her old life that God was doing a new and incredibly hip thing. Life's fantastic for Mari Hamilton, including a job she loves and the "perfect beau." She's even thrilled to be an attentive bridesmaid for her friend Sadie, who's planning the wedding of the year! But as Sadie nears the altar, her once-logical single friends struggle with irrational emotions, and Mari ponders her own path. Is it finding Mr. Right---or faith to do the right thing? Description:

I'm right handed. When I did the quiz is came out 60% right brained and 40% left brained. I would have guessed that those percentages would have been reversed though... That was fun!

I'm right-handed (and right-brained). Well, 15%Left/85%Right to be more exact. But I'm more Right. Course, I knew thta without taking the quize ;-)

I am right handed and apparently I am right brained more than left brained... when I read the traits I decided I was neither :)
Posted by: Tarasview | July 04, 2009 at 05:34 PM
I'm right handed. According to that quiz, I am 40% left brained and 60% right brained.

I actually grew up writing with both hands but now I'd say I'm more left handed since I have alot of problems with my right wrist. And according to the traits listed I'd say I'm half and half although according to the quiz I'm 40% Left and 60% Right. Thanks for entering me into this giveaway.

i'm right-handed like everyone else in the family. On the other hand, I think I'm mostly right-brained! :)

Another right hander here! And I'm 50/50.
This looks like a fun, chick lit series. Thanks for a chance to win it.

I'm right handed and very much right brained -- the test turned out 40% left and 60% right which I would agree with :-)

I'm right-handed and it seems that I'm more left-brained.
Posted by: Alexia | July 05, 2009 at 02:43 PM
Right handed, but left brained. I guess I like the math, science, logic stuff!
Posted by: sandra | July 05, 2009 at 08:43 PM
Well phooey - hit enter too quick! Right handed and left brained (or hair brained today!)
Posted by: sandra jensen | July 05, 2009 at 08:44 PM
I'm left-handed. The quiz came back 50/50 on left- or right-brained, which doesn't actually surprise me a bit.
Posted by: Word Lily | July 06, 2009 at 11:57 AM
I'm right-handed. The quiz said 55% left-brained but I suspect it's more than that.
Posted by: Ginnie | July 07, 2009 at 03:43 AM
I'm right-handed, my brother is left-handed. And don't know about my brain, it's just blank.
Posted by: grams | July 07, 2009 at 08:11 AM
I am a right handed female and I pretty much line up with your list of right hand traits, yet I have not taken the "test"...so that will be interesting...yet I am so much more right brained than left that I kindof think the results will not be a surprise.
Thanks for sharing!

I am right handed, but I think I have both right and left brain characteristics.
Posted by: Kerrie | July 08, 2009 at 07:52 AM
I am right handed, but I am a left brain person. Go figure.
