These 3 should get you on your way:
1. Logical chess move by move - Chernev.
2. Winning chess tactics by Seirawan
3. Silman’s endgame course
STUDY them 1 at a time. DO NOT blow through them once, and go on to the next book.
TAKE YOUR TIME. LEARN, dont just read.

"... The title might suggest it is for beginners, but that is not the case. [The Soviet Chess Primer] does start off with some basic positions, but quickly moves on to much more advanced material including chapters on positional play and techniques of calculation." - IM John Donaldson
In 2016, IM pfren wrote:
"My System is an iconoclastic book. A lot of things in there is sheer provocation, and it does need an expereienced player to know what exactly must be taken at its face value.
I love 'My System', and I have read it cover to cover one dozen times, but suggesting it to a class player is an entirely different matter."
"[Some things] ARE wrong, and it's not easy for a non-advanced player to discover those wrong claims.
Nigel Short has claimed that 'My System' should be banned. Stratos Grivas says that the book is very bad. I don't share their opinion, but I am pretty sure that there are more useful reads for class players out there."

"... [Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren] is not particularly suited for players who are just starting out. I would imagine players rated at least 1400-1500 would get the most benefit from this volume. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2009)

"The book is aimed at players who are already around first category strength [Translator's note: Approximately 2000-2200 Elo] but some examples will also be useful to players of a higher standard." - Sakaev
"... Batsford's new edition of Logical Chess: Move by Move, written in 1957 by Irving Chernev, ... is definitely for beginners and players who are just starting to learn about development, weak squares, the centre, standard attacking ideas, and the like. In many ways, it would a wonderful 'first' book (or first 'serious' book, after the ones which teach the rules and elementary mates, for example), and a nice gift for a young player just taking up chess. ..." - IM John Watson (1999)

"... Certainly for players who do not fully grasp the meaning of terms such as skewer, pin, fork, discovered attack, and the like, Winning Chess [by Chernev and Reinfeld] is a wonderful resource to bring the budding player to a much greater appreciation of the game. But also for intermediate players who all too often fall victim to these tactical maneuvers, or who realize in postmortems the many attacking threats they overlooked, this should be a book to consider. ..."

I have tried to provide warnings about some of the books that are least likely to be helpful now. I think IMBacon came up with some very plausible ideas about where to start, but, really, especially since you already have the books, you are the ultimate authority. If a book seems to be telling you stuff that you already know, skip it. If a book seems nearly incomprehensible, put it off till later. If a book seems like something you would want to work on now, then proceed. I do not believe that it is necessary to read one book all the way through while ignoring other subjects, but my guess would be that it would be most comfortable to pick two or three and progress through them, relying mostly on your mood to choose a specific book at any one time.
"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

It may be that one's games influence what one wants to read.
@Imperial_412 -
From the list in your post #1, the following is (roughly) the order in which I would consider studying them, beginning with the elementary and progressing to the more "advanced". Also in my opinion, it would make sense that it isn't essential to read/study the books linearly, that is, completing one book before beginning the next book. I think you can profitably read portions of more than one book simultaneously, as you feel necessary or interested. For instance you may be interested in certain topics in the opening and the endgame at essentially the same time - no need to read or complete a book on the opening before beginning a book on the endgame, etc.

FCO: Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren (this book is to be used primarily for reference purposes)
While all of the books above are certainly instructive and appropriate for your level, I think it's important to point out one book which may not always get the recognition it deserves (perhaps due to the inclusion of "Kids" in the title). That is, Winning Chess Strategy for Kids by Jeff Coakley is an outstanding chess book appropriate for ALL beginner-novice chess players (i.e., those below 1500 or so). In spite of its use of kiddie cartoon characters, the book is not just for kids (trust me). The book is packed with lots of excellent, fundamental chess instruction and exercises on all aspects of chess. I would rank the book in the top 10 of first chess books to study for all beginning players. Check the Amazon reader reviews...

Also, there is at least one book which is not in your list, but which I think deserves to be (somewhere at the top). That is....
Discovering Chess Openings by John Emms. Many chess teachers advise against spending excessive time on the study of openings variations for the beginner, but they do agree it is important to acquire a solid understanding of opening PRINCIPLES right from the start. This book explains, for its intended audience, the basics of opening FUNDAMENTALS better than any other book. If you are uncertain about what you should be thinking and doing during the opening, this book does an exceptional job of addressing these issues.
Note that I have excluded the following books from the list above because in my experience these books are advanced and appropriate primarily for the intermediate level player and above...

Any advice would be really appreciated. I’ve done research on the individual books with this forum and other resources but it’s not helping the jumping around that’s why I hope players who’ve been there, done that can maybe help me rank these books. Thanks!
