    C++ Primer 5th Edition and Accelerated C++ are in the same category of beginner books. Pick one and go with that first. Personally, I can only recommended Accelerated C++ because I have not read the other one myself.

    From what I recall, you had this habit (last November) of trying to figure out what books to read without actually reading them, so take this advice: read at least one of those two books first, then ask us again about the order to read the rest when you're done.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
