Thank you everyone who recommended the Lord of the Rings books to me! Hopefully the answer to this question isn’t “obviously in the order they released”.
I want to be able to really get the most I can from this book series so want to make sure I am doing it right!

Assuming you’re talking about the inclusion of like, *The Hobbit* and *The Silmarillion* in addition to the main LotR story. For me personally, I’d go LotR (in order of course) -> *The Hobbi*t -> *The Silmarillion*.
*The Silmarillion* is a much different kind of read in comparison to the other two, and I think reading *The Hobbit* as a stylistic palate-cleanser after LotR would make *The Silmarillion* a more rewarding experience.
