Add "Applied Microsoft Power BI" by Teo Lachev, now in its 3rd edition. Amazingly thorough and up to date, covering all aspects of the product. It is a great complement to Collie, Ferrari, Russo, the "Monkey Guys" (Puls / Escobar) and others listed in the Top 10 above.

These are all good books but number 5 has little to do with Power BI, aside from some general tips, as many of the advises there can't be practically implemented in PBI, I tested it. I like how tagging the authors increases the visibility of the post, that's quite clever and it actually makes sense in this context (as opposed to [Generic question], what do you think, [input a guru name here]).

Pro Power BI Desktop by Adam Aspin is definitely worth reading.

Have already read 1, 4, 6 and currently taking my time on 8 to soak it all in. Couldn't agree more with the list you put together and looking forward to checking out the rest.
