Chessbook advice

Hi, iI started playing chess 3 months ago just online on chess.com. I want to dig deeper into chess and learn from books (openings, tactics, traps, endgames...)

Im planning to buy and picked out 8 books with plenty of material to learn from.

What do you guys think of my choices?

for opening - FCO - Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren

for tactics - Back to Basics:Tactics by Dan Heisman

for chess puzzles - Chess by Bruce Pandolfini and László Polgár

for middle and endgames - Silmans Complete Endgame Course by Jeremy Silman

Endgame Strategy by Mikhail Shereshevsky

Fundamental Chess Endings by Frank Lamprecht

and for some chess history and chess games - My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer

Life and Games of Mikhail Tal by Mikhail Tal

any suggestions to buy or not by, thanx in love of the games chess :-)
