I know why, but I wish you were a bit more confident; trust your instincts!
I am not saying that you shouldn't seek advice and ask questions. Go ahead and ask.
If a book inspires you to learn, and you think it is well written and covers what you want to learn, then that book will definitely help you.
What I think is a good book will not necessarily be a good book for you.
If a book makes you excited, then that book is good.
