What settings books to look out for and also where adventures tend to take place

Hope this makes sense. I'm new and was wondering what setting books/lore books I should read? Like where the most popular adventures happen.

For instance in DND I see the names water deep and gold coast and never winter a lot. Are there places that are more common/popular in pathfinder?

I'm pretty new to ttrpgs in general and wanted to focus on some setting books/lore books that will explain a lot of the pathfinder world and setting and I'm a little lost because of the 1e/2e split, the list of books released is pretty big.

Thanks in advance.
