Looks great! You only have the last Pendergast book to read. Lucky you. I feel like I've been reading that series forever.

I've added you to the quick access thread too so that you can easily find your thread.

Thank you!

Yes, I read those almost as soon as the new one is published. But when Blue Labyrinth was released I was in the middle of finishing up another series all November and December long. So it works out perfectly to finish it for this challenge!

I really enjoy the series, but I got sidetracked somewhere along the way. I hope to finish them up with this challenge.

Welcome Amanda!

Thank you, Rusalka!

I've got The Burning Room on hold, but I'm pretty sure I've missed some earlier ones. I'll have to go back and read them now.

In 2013, My husband and I read all the Connelly books except one (Void Moon). We read them in publication order so toward the end of the Bosch series, we mixed in the Mickey Haller series.

I am excited to see the Bosch series on Amazon Prime next month!

Updated. Finished level 1.

Updated to add Patriot Threat by Steve Berry, book #10 in the Cotton Malone series.

It looks like the Haller crossovers are the only two missing to complete my Bosch series.

Hooray for completing a level!!

Thank you! I hope to have Level 2 finished by the weekend. :)

Are you reading the Haller series also?

Congrats for 2 levels completed!

I don't know if I'll get to the rest of the Haller series this year. I keep adding new series instead of continuing ones I've already started - something that's happening to a lot of us :)
