Finally, the paperback version of Mitch Albom’s “The Little Liar,” published in 2023, reached our bookstores. I had waited for it for months. The hardbound was always there, but aside from its prohibitive cost (think dollars to pesos!), I prefer paperbacks because I could hold them any which way, whether lying down or sitting up, and still be comfortable.
As soon as I entered my favorite bookstore, the sales clerk’s face lit up and said, “It has arrived ma’am!” Because I am in that shop too often, he thinks I am their in-house grandmother.
The book, set during the Holocaust, interweaves truth and lies and more lies. It's another one of Albom's uplifting yet heartbreaking opuses. I couldn’t put it down, but halfway through the pages, work summons my attention and time. I have a seminar to facilitate, online classes to handle, and Sunday school slides to do.
And to complicate matters, the book of my dear friend, Yay, arrrives from the US, where it was published. This, too, can’t wait!

Then my daily Bible reading can’t be ignored.
These sum up to what I call overflowing grace. It's a perfect day!
