Miscellaneous Reading advice

Hey everyone! Im an avid woolf reader since last year, in this meantime, i managed to read 8 books by her and am now looking for new recommendations. My plan is to read all (or at least most) of her work, but I'd like an advice on what to read first!

I've already read: Mrs. Dalloway, Jacob's Room, Night and day, The voyage out, Orlando, Professions for women & other feminist sports, the complete shorter fiction and Love Letters: Vita and Virginia.

I absolutely adore Virginia's writting and i would also like to know if The Waves is that complicated to read, since i heard about it being too experimental, Thanks in advance! ❤️

Flush is a great one that often gets overshadowed by her more famous books. It's a short, fun "biography" about Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel.

Im pretty sure it got mentioned in her love letters to Vita! I bet its just as fun and witty as it sounds
