Probably reasonable to read the books in the order in which they were published: Play, Tactics, Strategies, Brilliancies, Openings, Endings, Combinations.

I'm using the same series. It's really very good.
1 - Order is 'play winning chess', 'winning chess tactics', 'winning chess strategy', 'winning chess endings', 'winning chess openings', and 'winning chess combinations'. Or something like that.
'Winning chess brilliancies' is a strange one, because it's supposedly meant to be gone through last yet was released second. Not sure if i'll go through that or the openings one's tbh.
2 - I'm going through 'winning chess tactics' currently, and it's not good enough to be a standalone book on tactics. It explains the concepts well, but there aren't enough puzzles, and it doesn't develop your tactical skill well enough to be able to deal with the puzzles that actually are there. I also use John Bain's 'tactics for students' and Chess 5334 problems. Neither are free though. Lot's of good beginner tactics stuff about.
3- I play Chessmaster 10th edition which I got off of Amazon. Really cheap incase you don't get on with it. Nice mix between something for filthy casuals and stuff for the more hardcore. Well made game.
@memetakin: my answer to your question 2 is "chess tempo" where you can increase your tactical feeling as well as your chess practice. Regards, François
