If you go to the black library website they have them there.
Otherwise it has been the release schedule, which was:
The Original book with the starter
Quest for Ghal Maraz
Path to Glory
Balance of Power
Godbeasts
All Gates
I think this is what you are asking?
If not, the list from BL is:
Gates of Azyr
War Storm
Ghal Maraz
Hammers of Sigmar
Call of Arhaeon
Wardens of the Everqueen
Warbeast
Fury of Gork
Bladestorm
Mortarch of Night

 No madam, 40,000 is the year that this game is set in. Not how much it costs. Though you may have a point. - GW Fulchester
 The Gatling Guns have flamethrowers on them because this is 40k - DOW III

The first list is the battle books, which have fluff and stuff.
The 2nd list is the book series, so it soundsl ike you want the first one.

The longer list is novels, that have a more in depth look at the events of the Realmgate Wars and its participants. They offer nothing for gaming rules.
The shorter list is campaign books, which from a lore perspective, offer broad overviews of the conflict. They are also gaming aids, that include battleplans, warscrolls, themed warscroll batallions and other assorted special rules.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
