After this long and boring speech, let's start the list!
1) How to Win At Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond
This is the first book of the famous chess streamer and International Master Levy Rozman (aka Gothamchess).

The first half is dedicated for players with rating <800, and the second one for more experienced players (800-1300).
a Note from the author:
"Whether you want to become a recreational chess player or are training to be a Grandmaster, How to Win at Chess is the perfect interactive introduction to the world of chess."
2) Chess Fundamentals
A classic from the former world champion José Raùl Capablanca. This book will teach you the essentials of the opening, middlegame and endgame techniques. The book also includes 14 full games annotated by Capablanca himself. It seems little but at his time there weren't many annotated games.
A note from the description:
"Chess Fundamentals will take you from just knowing the rules of chess to applying the principles used by the masters."

A book written by the International Master Jeremy Silman. This is an easy-to-understand guide to chess strategy. This book will make your method of thinking faster, easier and painless about strategies.
A note from the author:
"World Champions such as Steinitz, Capablanca, Petrosian, Fischer, and Karpov have used these strategies in virtually all of their games. Now you can arm yourself with their weapons."
4) Practical Chess Endings
This is a must if you want to improve in endgames. A 1000 pages book written by GM Paul Keres that covers all the aspects of the last phase of the game. The book features logical step-by-step explanations to every position. A great book from a great author.
