A question

[mary_j_59]

I've noticed that some of my posts get no response at all, while others get lots of comments. To give two examples, NOBODY responded to my post about Green Knowe. And those books are, in my opinion, really beautiful - possibly among the best fantasies ever written, and I'd be happy to talk about them. No one responded to the clip of Michelle Paver and the wolves. And that, too, is a very well-written series, in which the teen protagonists grow in believable ways. I had one response to the news that Megan Whalen Turner's fourth Attolia book is actually coming out. Then I put up a post about how unhappy I am with Harry Potter these days, and suddenly there's an intense discussion about Snape and his character going on. Okay, it's true, I love Snape. But at this point, two years after the last book, no one's mind is going to be changed about him. At least, I don't think so.

Is it the case that people visit here only for my posts on Snape? Just wondering.

Thank you for responding! I guess the point of my post is: I get so unhappy that people are still arguing about Severus Snape and trying to show that he is evil or deserved his fate somehow. I can post (mostly) about something else entirely, and we end up back there. And I actually do want to move on. I do love Snape - he's a great character - but I guess I'm a bit scared that, when I stop posting about him, no one will read my blog.

Also - I hope a LOT of people will have heard of Michelle Paver's Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, Megan Whalen Turner's Attolia stories, and L.M. Boston's Green Knowe books in the near future. Apparently they are making a film of Wolf Brother (the first book in Paver's series of six) and a film of the second Green Knowe book has been completed and will be shown in the U.K. before the year is out.

There cannot be too many readers of truly good books!
