Hi! I started tracker for my current reads, including "Devils Night" and "Bound by Honor." I want to expand this into a massive TBR list. Based on my ratings, what should I add next, and in what order should I read them? Thanks!

This is such a brilliant idea! Honestly, seeing your tracker is so satisfying - the color-coded system and that "11/10" for Mr Denver is pure motivation. I actually use a very similar spreadsheet to stay on top of my TBR pile, and it's a total game-changer for finishing books faster!
Looking at your taste (Cora Reilly and Penelope Douglas are top-tier), I highly recommend adding the rest of the Born in Blood series to your list. For a perfect reading order, you should definitely check out the suggestions in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Booktokreddit/comments/1qtvaan/smth_really_cool_for_bookfamily/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button There's some really cool stuff there for the "book family" that fits your vibe perfectly.
I'd suggest adding a "Spice Level" column or a "Tropes" tag to your sheet next. It helps you pick the right book depending on your mood! Your layout is already aesthetic goals - keep it up, it's the best way to stay motivated and actually get through those "Reading" statuses!
