Welcome to my Three Pines tour!

I'm a huge Louise Penny fan.  Since you're reading this, chances are you are too, or else you will be soon hopefully.  I've read and reread all her books and can't say enough good things about them.

But this blog isn't all about the books.  It's about the place.  Based on real life streets, towns, and  landmarks mentioned in the books that exist in Quebec, I'm taking a week's vacation this June to try to find Three Pines.

While I have it on good authority that it's a fictional town, I'm sure, at the very least, that I'll have a great time looking.

Mostly I'm writing this blog for my very good friend and Louise Penny Fan Club cohort who couldn't come with me because she recently got some fabulously incredible job.  She really needs to reconsider her priorities.  Anyway, this is for you, Friend.  Consider it a practice tour. 

I'm buffing up on my French and making my reservations.  The tour begins in four weeks.  Stay tuned.
