It’s that time of year literistas—my annual first lines challenge: [link]
No excuses this year. For realz.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

People have done a great job so far, but there are still a few books left to guess and I know some of you have surely read at least one of them.

Good luck!

Heh, I like the narrator's work on the Expanse series a lot (he does great accents, and he switches character voice well but subtly) -- however, he never looked up how to say EVA suit, because he says "Eva" like the name, instead of pronouncing each letter. There are a LOT of EVA suit references in Cibola Burn. It matters not one little bit, but it's both sort of cute and grating at the same time.
Shallow observation: I'm watching the series, too, and I'm in the "find Mae" story now. Pax is much yummier on my screen than he was in my mind -- for some reason, I had him older and sort of ragged.

Our wings are not tired.
I read the books, and watched the series. Now I think I am going to listen to it on my trip north next year.
