Pancake Frying Pan Reviews: Plett Pan vs. Cast Iron Skillet
My grandmother’s much-loved pancake recipes need two different fry pans.
A few years ago, I went on a frying pan quest, when pancakes became an important food group in our soft foods diet. A dental appliance put soft pancakes front and center… but I didn’t have the right kind of pancake pan for the two types of pancake recipes I wanted to make.
So I checked the frying pan reviews on Amazon and ordered what I thought would be the perfect frying pans for both the 3-inch Swedish pancakes and the baked Pannukakku – Finland’s traditional oven pancake.
I had one hit… and one miss (sort of). HINT: You can see evidence of the scratches I made in my brand new Swedish pancake pan in the photo below. Let me tell you about my adventures in pancake pan land.
My review of the Plett pan – Nordic Ware’s Scandinavian Silver Dollar Pancake Pan
My new Nordic Ware pancake pan… slightly scratched by me
I bought this pan to cook Swedish pancakes
When I was a kid, my grandmother, my mother… and then my sister and I… loved to cook and eat plates full of the small 3″ Swedish pancakes. I always thought they were a Finnish delicacy, since my grandparents came from Finland, but I later learned they were actually called “Swedish” pancakes.
When my son needed to eat a soft foods diet for a month, I found a box of Lund’s Swedish Pancake Mix that tasted very close to the pancakes we ate at home, all those years ago. But when I dropped batter from a tablespoon into my regular non-stick frying pan, the pancakes kind of spread out in ungainly shapes and I just kept wishing I had my mom’s old Swedish pancake pan. It looks like the one in the photo here (it’s the pancake pan I purchased from Amazon). But hers and my grandma’s were cast iron and my sister got my mom’s pancake pan after she passed.
Because I was making these soft, silky pancakes a couple of times a week during the soft foods diet, I really wanted the right kind of pan, so I took myself (digitally) off to Amazon and started reading the reviews.
There were actually 4 Swedish pancake pans available at the time – they’re also called “Plett” pans. But one was way too expensive and another had a 2-star review. So I narrowed my choice to the other two.
I chose the Nordic Ware lighter weight pan over the cast iron Plett pan because of the Amazon reviews. They were far more positive than those of the cast iron Plett pan available at that time.
Here’s my review of the Nordic Ware Pancake Pan: It’s okay.
I wouldn’t rave about it, but it does cook the pancakes just fine. What gave me a problem was… the “care and use” instructions were hidden on the inside of the cardboard cover thingy, in very small print. The part I missed said, “Flip each pancake with a non-metal utensil… we recommend wooden skewers or chopsticks, a small silicone spatula or a plastic fork for flipping.” If you follow these instructions (like I didn’t), you’ll have a pretty good Swedish pancake pan with a 10-year warranty.
Mine, on the other hand, is already scratched. It’s my own fault… but it would cause me to give Nordic Ware a less kind review than if they had put their instructions where I could have seen them more easily.
The only other issue I had with the pan was a slightly loose handle, but I was able to tighten it easily with my screwdriver.
I have not purchased the Norpro cast iron plett pan that Amazon sells because its reviews were less than stellar. I thought about it, because it’s cast iron, which is what I’m used to cooking Swedish pancakes in. But, for now, I’ll stick with the one that works
And now for the rave review!
The Panukakku pancake didn’t stick to my Lodge cast iron frying pan
My new Lodge 10-1/4 inch cast iron frying pan came the same day as the Nordic Ware Swedish pancake pan. I bought the cast iron pan in that size because that’s what my recipe card for Pannukakku – Finnish oven pancakes – said to use. And I didn’t have one.
If you’ve ever researched cast iron cookware before, you might have noticed the rave reviews given to the Lodge product line. From my experience so far… these reviews are well justified.
I followed the recipe on my card exactly as written and was so happy with the result that I immediately made a special Pannukakku page dedicated to the recipe and this page you’re reading extolling the virtues of Lodge for cast iron cookware.
My new cast iron pan came pre-seasoned. Many of the Amazon reviews said to scrub off the pre-seasoning and re-season with a variety of different methods, depending on whose review you read. I took Lodge at their word and left the “store-boughten” seasoning on. You can see from the photo above that my pancake batter didn’t stick one little bit. The recipe is primarily an egg, flour and milk batter baked in the oven; my expectation was that something would be stuck on afterward. But it came out clean as a whistle.
All I had to do was wash the pan in hot water, paper towel dry and wipe another paper towel around the inside with a bit of canola oil on it. The Lodge instructions for use were a lot easier to find, too.
I hope my two pancake frying pan reviews help you with your own decision-making when it comes to pancake cookery. If you try my grandmother’s two pancake recipes, you’ll understand why the right choice was so important.
Corningware stovetop cookware in Pyroceram came back and then became scarce again
Were you even aware that stove-top-safe Corningware had gone off the market for a few years?
My Corningware Stove-top Casserole
For a number of years, any home cook wanting to purchase Corningware cookware – that could be used on the stove top – had to settle for “vintage” pieces they could find on eBay or at garage sales. That’s because the company that bought the Corningware name in the late 1990s decided that the Pyroceram technology was too expensive to produce anymore.
It just wasn’t cost-effective… when the original cookware didn’t seem to ever wear out and was handed down from grandmothers to mothers to daughters (and sons, too).
The substitute products apparently worked okay, but you couldn’t take them from the freezer and place them directly into a hot oven, like you could with the Pyroceram pieces. And they had a stamp on the bottom saying they were not for stove-top cooking.
Well… shoot! My trusty old Blue Cornflower casserole dish is kind of the Superman of cookware.
And it came with a detachable pot handle for stove-top cooking.
Pyroceram was even used on the nose cones of anti-aircraft missiles in the late 1950s because of its ability to withstand extreme temperature changes. Just like the Corning pots in my kitchen.
Here’s why the original Pyroceram Corningware is sought after
With my “vintage” Corningware pans, I can:
Reheat frozen leftovers in the oven (or microwave) without thawing first.
Saute onions, mushrooms or whatever on the stove top on medium-high – or high – heat.
Bake macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes and more in the oven.
Create killer cheese sauces when a “heavy” pan is called for.
Safely heat foods in the microwave.
Soak my casseroles in water with dish liquid and clean off any stuck-on food easily. Repeat, easily.
Store food in the freezer… because all my dishes have tight-fitting glass lids.
In short, we “vintage” Corningware owners got used to depending on cookware that was versatile, sturdy, and safe. And that didn’t crack or shatter under extreme temperature changes.
The original Corningware was high-tech
Corningware Pyroceram was invented in 1953 by Dr. S. Donald Stookey of Corning’s Research and Development Division. He was researching heat-resistant materials that would withstand thermal shock on the nose cones of ballistic missiles… and then adapted this technology for cookware. That’s why the “original” Pyroceram Corningware dishes can go directly from freezer to stove top or oven without breaking. They were designed to withstand sudden temperature changes.
In 2008, you could buy stove-top Corningware again!
After a long period of not being able to buy new Corningware sets to replace those we had accidentally dropped or given away, we could breathe a little easier now, because the manufacturer had (finally) re-introduced some Pyroceram-based dishes. They didn’t offer many… but at least they started with Cornflower Blue.
And just in the nick of time, as baby boomers like me were starting to downsize and hand down our cookery items to kids and grandkids. In fact, I inherited two of my mom’s Corningware casseroles and was very happy to add them to my previously small collection… especially after learning that the company that took over Corning’s cookware division wasn’t making their new products with the same glass-ceramic material (Pyroceram) that was used to make my own indestructible dishes.
Corningware isn’t terribly sexy, as far as cookware goes… but you can’t beat the versatility of the Pyroceram casserole dishes. I use mine many times a week as saute pans, pots and casseroles… not to mention as storage containers and serving dishes.
I can’t imagine what I’d even replace them with, so I was delighted to see the “original” high-tech dishes available again… until, once again, they weren’t.
In 2022, stovetop Corningware was discontinued again, more or less
From what I could tell, the stovetop Corningware brand in the U.S. became part of Corelle Brands which sells one or two versions of stove-top Corningware. The reviews on those products were mixed, so if I were looking for more stove-top Pyroceram Corningware, I’d check first for used casseroles on Amazon or eBay and do an online search for “vintage stove-top Corningware with Pyroceram”. The keywords are CORNINGWARE, PYROCERAM, STOVE-TOP, ORIGINAL CORNINGWARE, VINTAGE CORNINGWARE.
AUTHOR’S NOTE My previous article on Stove-top Corningware with Pyroceram was more hopeful about its future. Now, not so much. If you’re lucky enough to have original Corningware handed down from parents and grandparents, thank your lucky stars. Corningware is not especially trendy… but it is versatile and sturdy and safe.
Thanks for reading “the updated corningware tales”
Stephen King on the Art, Craft and Business of Writing
On Writing is the first Stephen King book I’ve ever read. It’s an excellent memoir of his life as a writer: what got him started, how he built his writing portfolio, and how his stories evolved, through vivid imagination and astute editing.
But I’ve never read any of King’s fiction books. Not one.
I recognize from On Writing that Stephen King is a really good writer who understands the art, craft and business of writing very well.
And if he wrote in a different genre, I’d probably read him. So far I haven’t ventured into those waters.
Even from this non-fiction book, however, I can relish King’s story-telling expertise.
He has incredible recall of people, events and feelings from his early childhood. How does a 6-year-old remember three sets of ear lancings in such detail?
“Once again the pungent smell of alcohol and the doctor turning to me with a needle that looked as long as my school ruler. Once more the smile, the approach, the assurance that this time it wouldn’t hurt.”
I also like that Stephen King doesn’t mince words when he feels strongly about something.
Stephen King’s advice to novice writers is specific and non-yielding:
Read… a lot. Stephen King takes books with him everywhere.
Write a lot, preferably every day.
Treat writing seriously.
Good writing feels like a meeting of the minds between author and reader (King gives a superb demonstration of how this works in his chapter “What Writing Is.”)
Use vocabulary that fits the occasion – and don’t overdo it.
Nouns and active verbs rock.
“Said” works best for dialogue attribution, almost always.
King shows his teaching chops in the section on narration, description, and dialogue. He explains, gives examples, and makes these aspects of writing come alive through his instructive lessons.
While narration moves the story along, description creates the “sensory reality” for the reader, and dialogue brings life to the characters, plot isn’t a big deal for Stephen King. He doesn’t trust plot outlines because, as he says, “our lives are largely plotless.”
Do I hafta write?
King gives very specific examples to help writers understand the points he’s making. As a non-fiction writer, I found many takeaways in this book. Fiction writers will find a bonanza of excellent material here.
It all boils down to this question, “Do I hafta write?” Then.you.are.a.writer.
And you don’t need anyone else to tell you so.
On Writing is a highly regarded writer resource for good reason. Stephen King is a good teacher and he doesn’t stint on passing along what he knows.
Stephen King fans will enjoy the memoir aspect of the book. He openly discusses his early addictions and the 1999 accident that nearly ended his life. I hadn’t heard about either before and it seemed remarkable to me that he continued to write compelling fiction in either of those circumstances.
My book review of Dinty W. Moore’s Crafting the Personal Essay
In my investigation of “alternative” styles of writing, including everything “flash,” I came across a book edited by Dinty W. Moore called The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Nonfiction. I was impressed with Moore’s introduction to that publication, so I bought Crafting the Personal Essay, which is the book I’m reviewing here.
I write for online platforms, including this website, two other blogs and Hub Pages (and, previously, Squidoo). Many of my articles are written in a personal essay style but, now that I’m semi-retired, I want to get better at telling my stories and speaking my truth.
Sometimes my “truth” is an honest review of my vintage Corningware. Other times, it’s a more-or-less channeled piece of writing on my former blog “What Life Wants.” I’ve even written the saga of Carlotta the spiny orb weaver spider. And my efforts are pretty good.
But I want to improve as a writer. I want to make a difference as a writer. I want to be known as a writer.
So I read books about perfecting my craft and I learn about the different ways to get my views across. For example, I really enjoy writing 6-word memoirs and have taken a closer look at this genre on my review page for It All Changed in An Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. Here’s one: “Good Writer Striving to be Great.” Try writing your life story in 6 words. It’s fun!
Dinty Moore’s Crafting the Personal Essay opened my eyes to the scope available for writers in the personal essay genre. I hadn’t realized that I could elaborate on my travel and recipe articles to make them feel more like literature. They call it “creative nonfiction” nowadays.
I like that essays can be quite short, as in the case of flash nonfiction. I like that they can ramble in an exploratory, investigative way. I like that they can lead me to conclusions I might not have considered previously. I like that they explore – me.
From Contemplative to Gastronomical…
Moore includes chapters on the various types of personal essays:
Memoir
Contemplative
Lyric
Humorous
Spiritual
Gastronomical
Travel
Nature
I have recipe pages online that I’d like to bump up to the “gastronomical essay” level. On the other hand, they might also fall into the “memoir” group, since a couple of the recipes were handed down from my Finnish grandmother.
That’s the type of information I’ve been learning in Crafting the Personal Essay. So I’m into rewrite mode and allowing myself to travel down winding roads searching for the nugget that’s to be found somewhere along the way.
I love what Dinty Moore says about revising our writing: It’s not uncommon for me to be six or seven drafts into an essay before I realize, “Aha, that’s what this essay is going to be about.”
Inner Explorations Made Public
Moore’s writing style is easy and clear. The writing exercises sprinkled through the book urge us to dig deeper into our emotions and rememberings. What stopped the clock for us way back when… why do we have trouble remembering what it was? What was that issue really about? Is it time to speak/write about it now?
In his chapter on memoir essays, the author poses many questions for consideration and deeper probing, including “What are you most afraid of?” and “What as a child did you totally misunderstand, but now as an adult see very differently?” Probing, probing, probing.
That’s what writers do.
Dinty W. Moore’s book was, for me, an excellent introduction to the writing of good personal essays. His reminders to revise, revise, revise… and his instructions on becoming an excellent rewriter I found very helpful.
He suggests writing initially with a “child” attitude, playing with ideas and words just to see what develops. Then allow the “adult” in you to ask some tough questions, such as what’s your point here and who will be interested in this. Then at the very end of your revisions, invite your “parents” in to see if your piece will embarrass them or make them proud. But don’t ask for your “inner parent” reviews until you’re done editing.
My Review of It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure
I’m a (pre) baby-boomer and, last spring as I approached my 69th birthday, I got a little nostalgic and started looking up books on memoir writing. Not that I wanted to write an actual book about my life story, but I was looking for ways to get some of my thoughts, experiences and philosophy across in shorter, alternative ways.
My Kindle and Amazon Prime make book buying easy, so I searched “memoir” keywords and purchased The Power of Memoir as a paperback and three more books on writing memoirs and life stories for my Kindle.
Of course, Amazon always gives you more options when you search for a keyword. So I looked at their recommendations.
And what came up for me – and delighted me immensely – wasIt All Changed In An Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure. I ordered it right away, because I loved the idea of encapsulating entire thoughts and events in six words. It requires discipline, creativity and the courage to speak truth without hiding behind obfuscations and embellishments.
Begun as a project of Smith Magazine in 2006, the concept of explaining your life in six words caught on quickly and spread like wildfire, aided by Twitter posts especially. According to Smith Magazine, almost 1 million submissions have been received, many of which have made their way into print, as the series of books keeps expanding. In fact, if you feel inspired to try a few six-worders yourself, you can submit them on the Six-Word Memoirs website.

The Six Word Memoir books are slightly addictive – and fun!
I’ll eventually order the other books in the 6-word memoir series, but there are so many good ones in this book that I still have fun just opening it at random and reading the 10 pithy memoirs on each two-page spread. A number of submissions even came with their own graphics; the ones chosen for the book range from hilarious to heart-wrenching… and are very much to the point.
In this book are 6-word memoirs by famous people, including Gay Talese (Friendship test: willingness to be inconvenienced) and Malcolm Gladwell (Father: “Anything but journalism.” I rebelled.) and regular people like us.
You can preview some of the 6-word memoirs yourself by visiting the book’s page on Amazon, which gives the history of the project and some humdinger memoirs by people you’ve heard of… or not. Published in 2010, this book follows Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure, which came out in 2008.
If you love to write and love a challenge… it’s worth taking a peek inside the book(s) to inspire yourself to give it a try. I’ve come up with a few of my own already.
The Moment is about life-changing stories of 125 writers and artists… and me.

Do you recall “the moment” in your past when something so significant happened that it was literally life-changing? If so, you’ll enjoy the 125 stories in The Moment, a book of “wild, poignant, life-changing stories from 125 writers and artists famous and obscure.”
In this book, edited by Larry Smith (of 6-Word Memoirs fame), 125 writers and artists submitted (very) short stories of a moment or an event that instantly changed their lives. Usually it was an awakened awareness caused by an unexpected event, an illness, the death of a loved one or a life-broadening experience.
Mary Elizabeth Williams takes us on a journey into her mind the day she gets the phone call that tells her she has cancer. In a single paragraph, while worrying about a writing deadline, Williams travels from “I guess this means I could die pretty soon” to “But who will pick up the kids at camp?”
Haylee Harrell describes the afternoon recess at school during which she learns that people can hate you because of the color of your skin.
Michael Castleman remembers the evening his mother refused to make supper because she was reading a book. He explains that his mother was devoted to the family, served meals like clockwork and never changed her routine… until she started reading Leon Uris’s Exodus. That’s when Michael recognized that books could take over your life while you are immersed in them. That’s when he decided to become a writer.
Hope Rehak recalls a day familiar to many of us. She was just twelve years old on 9/11 and wondered why her parents were glued to the television set. She can still hear the words they said to her: “They have to find someone to blame.” And she tries to hide under the blankets where the new world can’t touch her yet.
The Moment contains 125 stories of real people feeling their way through something they weren’t expecting, whether it was the event itself or their reaction to it. You can read more “moments” at SmithMag.net… and even submit stories of your own.
In fact, the book inspired me to look at my own life-changing moment. Here it is:
When I began my studies at a metaphysical center years ago, I had to take some of what was taught on faith. A portion of the material was so far outside my experience that, while I could intellectually get what they were saying, I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.
Until I did. See it. With my eyes wide open.
I was taking beginner classes, but many of my fellow students were way ahead of me in clairvoyant abilities. I’m still not particularly clair-anything many years later, but once in a while I’ll see or hear something that shoots my understanding to another level.
Like the first time I saw a purple head hovering next to my teacher.
All during our 2-hour class, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the large purple head floating slightly above and to the right of Karen, our course instructor. Karen was almost 6 feet tall, so seeing this apparition that high above her was quite remarkable. And the head itself was a slightly odd shape, larger on top by a considerable amount.
When I asked about the purple head after class, Karen cleared up the mystery. She told me that I was seeing her spirit guide, Abdullah, who wore a turban and always came through in the color purple. His head was so far off the ground because she always saw him sitting on a “flying carpet.”
This explained the strange shape on top of his head and the reason he was riding so high in the room.
Abdullah’s purple head was my first clear-seeing episode and by far the most dramatic. It helped that the details were verified by a trusted, highly clairvoyant teacher.
After you witness something that “isn’t possible,” you can’t unwitness it.
Now I knew for certain that other dimensions are filled with life and that they intersect with our own spaces and times.
What a springboard for an expanded viewpoint of Life… and a perspective that stretches to eternity.
Even now, I can see Abdullah’s head as clear as day, when I think about that first time. And it still blows me away.
What’s your life-changing story?
What story would you write for posterity? As Larry Smith says in his introduction to the book, “These stories hit us where we live.”
When I showed this story to my son, he was surprised because I’d never told him about it before. Until I started writing this post and saw myself sitting in class staring at Abdullah’s purple turbaned head, I’d almost forgotten the impact it had on my understanding of the multi-dimensionality of life. What I knew before was nothing compared to what I could glimpse behind the door that was just starting to open before my eyes.
The 125 stories in this book each have outstanding moments like this. And you can’t stop reading them. Even when it’s past your bed-time and you know you have to get up for work the next morning. They make you think… and remember. And think some more.
How many times did you watch the Pride and Prejudice mini-series when it aired on the A&E television network back in the 1990s? I mean… it was some of the best BBC TV ever imported into the U.S.
And if you’re of the female gender, can you still see Colin Firth emerging from his swim in the lake, with that clingy wet shirt sticking to his well-muscled chest?
Amazing how some scenes stay with us like that.
Did you run out and buy the DVD as soon as it was available so you could watch all 6 episodes again and again… and again, whenever the fancy struck you?
What! Well, neither did I.
I just figured I could watch it again on television. Except in 2005, another version of Pride and Prejudice came out with Keira Knightley… and that’s the version that keeps playing over and over on TV.
All I could do after that was wonder, “What did they do with the real Mr. Darcy?”
So, in 2011, my Blockbuster video store announced they were closing and started selling off all their stock. I immediately grabbed up Rocky Horror Picture Show and (ta-da) the A&E 2-DVD set of the original BBC mini-series of Pride and Prejudice. Now I can watch all 6 episodes whenever I want to be uplifted by excellence in… oh, heck… whenever I need a Colin Firth fix.
The “real” Darcy and Elizabeth
I was pleased to see that Amazon is offering the restored edition of Pride and Prejudice with almost 6 hours of high quality television… ah, heck, who am I kidding… hours and hours of Colin Firth. Though, Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet is pretty special, too. For me, it’s tough to imagine Lizzie and Darcy portrayed by anyone other than Ehle and Firth.
Just click on the graphic above if you’d like to read more about the remastered version of Pride and Prejudice on DVD. I’ve got what’s called “The Special Edition” as it was shown originally on TV. From the reviews, it sounds like the restored edition gives a better sound and picture quality than the version I have.
If you like British espionage books, I think you’ll enjoy the Charlie Muffin mysteries by Brian Freemantle. Many reviewers call Brian Freemantle one of the top espionage writers today… possibly one of the best of all time. Some say he’s on a par with John LeCarre. I’d tend to agree. I just finished the latest in the Charlie Muffin series and I’m so glad Freemantle “revived” the Muffin books, which seemed doomed after the cold war ended.
The first book in the Charlie Muffin series – Charlie M – was published in 1977. The 10th in the series just after the end of the cold war, in 1993. Freemantle added three more books to the series between 1996-2002 and then… nothing… until 2010, when Red Star Rising came out.
The newest (and last) in the series is Red Star Falling and veteran MI5 agent Muffin is back in form, thwarting the higher-ups, staying alert to dangers from all comers, including those who should be protecting his back and, as always, doing what he thinks is right. You don’t think of a spy as limping around with hammertoes in hush puppy shoes, but that’s the charm of Charlie Muffin. He’s “everyman” with an trapdoor memory and a bag of old-school tricks that keep him safe and the country secure.
The plots can get pretty intricate (which I love) and there’s not much shoot-em-up activity (which I also appreciate)… just a story you can immerse yourself in and a character you easily learn to love. Muffin’s kind of special that way.
Red Star Burning was a major cliff-hanger. I just finished Red Star Falling and it’s the kind of book I love. The intricacies of espionage are highlighted with three groups of spymasters trying to best one another. No one was shot in this book… but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And the ending left another loose thread to be tied up by Charlie Muffin… this time a highly personal one.
Charlie Muffin Mysteries in Order:
The early Charlie Muffin books are getting to be collectors’ items. But, luckily they’re available for Kindle e-readers.
My library had them all, so you might look there, too. I’d start with the first book Charlie M because you’ll want some of the cold war history… especially if you’re under 50 and don’t have a feel for that particular political climate.
If you haven’t tried the Three Pines/Chief Inspector Armand Gamache detective fiction series yet, you’re in for a treat. The characters become old friends and the village of Three Pines feels like home (a place I’d love to live in).
If you choose to come along for the ride, you’ll meet Quebec Provincial Police Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife Reine-Marie, Gamache’s police side-kick Jean-Luc Beauvoir, and the cast of characters who somehow found the tiny village of Three Pines… an enchanting place that doesn’t appear on any map.
Each book adds to the characters’ stories and makes you feel like you’re living “real life” with them. Get to know artists Clara and Peter Morrow, Myrna, the psychologist-turned-bookstore-owner, Ruth the famous (but cranky) poet, and Bistro owners Gabri and Olivier. Each has a story, each evolves or regresses, as Louise tells their tales.
And somewhere in there, crimes are solved, music is made, art is created and people are fed. The place is magical; the people are like family. I want to move there.
Chief Inspector Gamache books listed in order:
You could read the Gamache series out of order if you wished, but the location of Three Pines grows on you with each reading and it’s kind of nice to follow the events of your friends there as they happen.
