Keep in mind there's pretty much too seperate continuities. Pretty much everything from 1977-2014 is now considered "Legends", including the Thrawn trilogy, and aren't considered part of the current canon, although certain elements (Such as Thrawn himself) have been reworked into the new canon.
Generally the strongest novels are often considered:
The Thrawn trilogy
The X-wing novels
The James Luceno "bridge" novels (Cloak of Deception, Labyrynth of Evil, Darth Plageuis, Dark Lord)
Darth Bane trilogy
Karen Traviss's Clone Wars novels
AC Crispin's Han Solo novels
Kenobi
Around 2014 Disney starts publishing their own fiction in line with the continuity of the new films, spin offs, and Rebels.
James Luceno's new bridge novels (Tarkin, Catalyst)
Lost Stars (YA book but very, very good)
Bloodline
Ashoka
New Thrawn trilogy (Basically, these set up Thrawn's appearence in the "Rebels" series, and otherwise don't have much of a connection to the other trilogy).
I love villains novels so Darth Plaguis, Dark lord rise of Darth Vader, The Darth Bane trilogy.
