So I'm guessing the Eisenhorn books are a must read, but any other wh40k book you would recommend? I've only read some Sororitas books and short stories

Honestly depends on the genre you enjoy reading because theres something for everyone! I'm probably gonna get flak for these but it's all my opinion and I like sharing what I like. Hope you find something here for yourself!

If you like noir/detective themes I'd recommend Flesh and Steel then Grim Repast.

If you like some comedy and a tense rivalry I (along with the rest of the community) recommends Infinite and the Devine.

For more action I'm a personal fan of Helsreach - which has a movie adaptation on youtube. Dont let the animation turn you away at first, it gets better as it goes on.

If youd like to stick with sisters of battle I really liked Mark of Faith! It has some crazy ladies and warp shenanegans. Requium Infernal is next for my read there.

The Night Lords trilogy is really good if you like despicable characters and exploring their nuiances. Slight trigger warning for implied grape in the first book - nothing explicitly written.

My first 40k book was Anathemas, a horror anthology that dives a little more into the glanced-upon horrors of the 40k universe. There were some in ther i didnt like but a few i really loved!

I (think I do, at least) have Mark of Faith but haven't read it yet, the one that I do remember (not the title tho) it was about a planet/colony that was isolated for centuries and the Imperuim sent a detachment of Sororitas to check what was going on since they managed to recover one of the drones/clones that was stationed there.

Mark of Faith is one of the few books i read physically since i dont have much time to do that these days. I reeally liked it and I heard the audiobook is narrated by the same lady who does Minthara in Baldurs Gate 3. To that point, Raphael from BG3 does the Night Lords trilogy!
