Best books to learn Electronics & circuits, in order

Electronics is hands-on, but it still has a spine. Voltage, current, and resistance have to be intuitive before components, then analog circuits, then the jump to digital logic. The productive order pairs each concept with building something, because the intuition only sticks when a circuit actually lights up. Skip the fundamentals and datasheets read like a foreign language. Basics, then analog, then digital.
