Hi there Matt, welcome to our community. I find that magazines are also good reading, there are at least four regular publications in Australia and they have all sorts of infomation including Star charts. They tend to cater for all levels of knowledge and are a entry point into this great hobby.
The main thing with this hobby is to not only read, but get familiarized with the night sky. So star charts in magazines will help in this regard. Which will lead you onto more advanced reading. Practice getting out and recognising the stars, There are many sites to see, some faint, some bright and some not visible in your current scope.
I am sure you can learn lots of things here also. All you need to do is ask the question and I am sure there will be many responses.
Best of Luck with you new journey
Paul
