Picking C++ Books

Background:
Hello! My name is Levi and I'm 13 years old. I've been interested in computers in general since I was about 7. This was the time when I was allowed to go on the computer. Since then I've been interested in programming and video games. I plan to be a programmer when I grow up. I'm not sure what kind yet (software developer, front-end, back-end, etc.), but I plan on learning C++ since it is such a major language.

Experience:
This is NOT my first time ever trying to program. I've coded some Python (although I forget all of it, this was around when I was 10). I also play a game called ROBLOX. In the game you were allowed to create scripts using Lua with the API and default environment. I know what functions, arguments, variables, etc. are. I'm also familiar with some data types such as strings, char, int, float, double, etc. Basically, I don't need books that teaches programming from scratch.

Possible books I'd buy:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0321334876/?tag=stackoverfl08-20

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0201734842/?tag=stackoverfl08-20

Which books should I buy? (please pick out 3 books, 5 max.) In what order should I read (and practice with) each book?

Thanks,
~Levi
