I'm really interested in the lore, so can I just start with this in order? I assume there are many other books?

There's a ton of books, but those are the best to start off with, I recommend them in this order:
Mage 20th edition
Masters of the Art
Werewolf 20th edition (This can go anywhere, it's mostly for the cosmology)
Revelations of the Dark Mother
Vampire 20th Edition
Time of Judgement
Mage 20th edition
Masters of the Art
Werewolf 20th edition (This can go anywhere, it's mostly for the cosmology)
Revelations of the Dark Mother
Vampire 20th Edition
Time of Judgement

I know this is necro but it depends tbh
If you're bookish and don't mind either hunting down pdfs or hunting down physical copies and shelling out lotsa money, go with Udl's recommendations. These will also give you a crash course on lore from both in-universe and meta perspective. If you wanna ease into it, the ever-replayable Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a great place to start. You will, however, have a more boots-on-the-ground and extremely limited view of the lore from the player perspective. Ideally, that would serve to get you hooked on learning more.
How VtMB doesn't have profiles yet I got no ****** clue

It's because I'm always so busy now-a-days so I never get to work on WoD anymore, along with working on Doctor Who, Nightside, my University course and the general woes of life.
I meant to make Therese and Jeanette a profile eventually, since they're strangely low in generation which makes them an unironic power house.
For reference, she's Generation 6. If she were just 1 higher, she'd be one of the legendary Methuselah.

Ikr?? It's pretty crazy how best girls is a generation shy of being in the same gen as mfing Dracula, and would be in the same league as him if he wasn't a thirsty boi. If Therese and Jeanette were able to harmonize earlier and more consistently, they would unironically rule LA in its entirety if not all of SoCal.
