I know there are constant newcomers to the Horus Heresy series so I thought someone might find this useful:
HORUS HERESY READING LIST/TRACKER
It's a blank template so the idea is that anyone can create their own copy and use it in any way it works for them - adding, renaming, editing or deleting columns.
I basically took this chronological list and made it into a spreadsheet so that I could filter it by:
title
author
format (short story/novel/novella/audio drama)
anthology (if it belongs to one)
whether it is included in the minimalist version of this super useful guide (which includes recommended reading order and has been an invaluable resource for me)
chronological order
I added one anthology that was missing and tried to add at least an approximate timeframe)
I also added the Primarch novels at the very end but they are numbered in order of release
most prominently featured legion or primarch (there's also "multiple" and n/a for non-legion factions etc.)
reading status (ngl, the "plan to read" list is growing every day)
rating - how much I had fun reading the book
rating - how much I liked the idea/message of the book (bc those are two different things)
any personal notes
I think it's nice that if you're into a specific legion, you can just easily look up all stories that feature them :)) (me with Space Wolves hehe) and also see author-based patterns - be it themes or your own reading taste.
