Hey dear Desi, a bit late, but as promised, here are some resources that may be helpful when diving deeper into UX:

Don’t Make Me Think, The Design of Everyday Things, and 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People are books most UXers would recommend. In addition, Interaction Design Foundation has a great overview of books.
The Guide to Design by uxdesign.cc is a great starting point
Career Foundry has a nice overview of How to become a UX designer
UX Matters is perhaps my favorite resource on UX topics
UX Research Field Guide by UserInterviews.com. It focuses purely on research practice, but it’s a comprehensive overview of all things involved in focusing on the U in UX.
