Have you seen the two TV series yet? The Clone Wars and Rebels? I'd recommend you go from them. You're going to see a bunch of things in The Clone Wars you might remember being mentioned in Catalyst.
Of these, only A New Dawn I concider not as good. It's still a good book, but the other ones are better. You might enjoy it. I'd still buy The Rise of the Empire, instead of either book separately, even if you only want to read one of them, because the short stories are awesome.
Some other great books outside of the Rebels chronology are:
You think thats bad try buying a hard back of Tarkin, at the start of the year I started my Star Wars collection quite seriously and initially wanted to buy everything in hardback but when Tarkin costs £90 its difficult to justify, especially for a book I had already read the e-book of.
Hardbacks are becoming more difficult to get your hands on thanks to how the industry is changing, for Amazon its cheaper and easier to stock paperbacks which in general have a bigger print run than hardbacks. This effect is only compounded with the move to ebooks and the result really is that nowadays hardbacks are really only for collectors, academic texts and library's so that makes them harder to come by. It sucks but for me part of collecting this stuff is the thrill of the chase.
My advice for buying hardback books though is as follows....
Buy the books on release if you can, even if you don't plan on reading right away, I have a hard back of queens shadow, I haven't read it yet though, but I knew it was better to get it when the hardback was a at a reasonable price. Failing that my next bit of advice would be to buy second hand. Third party sellers on Amazon are pretty good, I have had luck on Ebay and I even managed to complete my hardback Aftermath collection with a charity shop (all be it with a less than mint cover).
Anyway....before someone snipes it you can buy the book here on Ebay or here on Amazon although Amazon is slightly more expensive.
Hope that helps.
I think it was an amazon exclusive, that’s where I got mine, but they sold out really quickly. There’s a few third party sellers with it still available on Amazon
I really enjoyed Kevin J Anderson’s Jedi Academy trilogy . Now Legends material... but perhaps it may be what you are looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Academy-Trilogy/dp/1568651201
It’s listed on Amazon as the 3rd.

You're referring to this one, right? I mean that it isn't from the publisher, the paperback release for Master and Apprentice isn't for awhile. This is something someone else printed and is selling.
They've released updated canon paperbacks of the original OT novelizations, but not for the PT. That'll probably happen soon though.
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
EDIT: By updated I mean updated to reflect the current canon. Fixed character descriptions, ship sizes, added references to Scarif, etc..
If you're more into world-building than story, I think you'd really enjoy some of the reference books. I'm especially thinking of the visual dictionaries which expand on the characters, planets, and tech from the movies. There's also the Galactic Maps and Complete Locations books too, which really are world building books.

Rogue One Visual Dictionary
The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary
Star Wars Galactic Maps
Star Wars Complete Locations
The Phantom Menace.
Dooku:Jedi Lost happens between Episode 1 and 2. It won't appear on Youtini because you'll have to turn on the "audio drama" section too. There's a script-version that's been published on Amazon if you'd prefer that tho.
