Sam’s comments from the The Tarot Sequence 2022 Readalong group.

Hi there everyone!

My name is Sam, my pronouns are he/him, and I'm one of the folks helping run this readalong in anticipation for The Hourglass Throne!

I first heard about The Tarot Sequence from a recommendation from a friend in a Magicians discord server during our book club. However, due to the trigger warnings of the first book (and the fact I was HIGHLY hyperfocused on the Green Creek series at the time) I passed on reading TLS at the time.

However, my now partner, Perry came to visit me in NY around the time The Sunken Mall came out and couldn't stop talking about how wonderful KD was, how responsive to critique he was, and how much he strived to do better with every book, and honestly, I really appreciated that. It's been an honor to see how much KD has grown as a writer (and a person) with each work he creates. It helps that I absolutely fell in love with the characters, and the plot, and everything else. Plus I've made some really great friends within the TTS community and I'm so so grateful for that.

I'm currently a Librarian Assistant in NY and I'm going to school for my MLIS to become a full librarian. I love reading, particularly sci-fi and fantasy, Comics, and YA stuff--I'm actually on a YA books committee at work this year. Since that's a huge part of my life, I like to do mostly mindless things in my free time. I've been really into Minecraft lately and I'm trying to rewatch all of the show ER, a medical drama that started in the early 90s and lasted until 2009, because that's one of the shows I grew up with. We'll see if my ADHD lets that last though, haha. Over 300 one hour episodes is A LOT.
