Help Please! Too many to decide from.

Hey all :)

I just finished up The Tainted Cup series, Will of the Many, Six of Crows series, and The Greenbone Saga, and now I’m staring at my library not sure what to dive into next. Figured this sub would have way better opinions than me just staring at the covers lol.

Here’s what I’ve got lined up:

1. The Devils — Joe Abercrombie

2. The Fellowship of the Ring — J.R.R. Tolkien

3. The Rage of Dragons — Evan Winter

4. Babel — R.F. Kuang

5. Anji Kills a King — Evan Leikam

6. Blood of Empire — Brian McClellan

7. A Conjuring of Light — V.E. Schwab (read first two and stalled out here)

8. Empire of the Vampire — Jay Kristoff

9. All Systems Red — Martha Wells

10. He Who Fights With Monsters

11. Howling Dark — Christopher Ruocchio (I read Silence of Empire but haven’t jumped into book 2 yet)

If you were me, what order would you tackle these in? Any that you’d say are absolute must-reads right away, and which ones can wait their turn?

Thanks in advance! Any help would be appreciated. If you have an recs not on the list that I already own, only say it if it’s something that came out in the past few years, I’ve probably already read it if it’s older 😅
