Just finished algebra 1 now what?

In summary, the conversation is about the speaker looking for their second book in their self-study journey of mathematics. They recommend the Integrated Algebra 1 book for its clear explanations, examples, and exercises. They are considering the next book in the series, but also seeking opinions. They also ask for recommendations for a basic physics book with plenty of exercises. They mention wanting to stick with books from Amsco and follow the Algebra 1 - Geometry - Algebra 2 sequence.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to link the pdf of the book but here is an image http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/95/3a/000a3a95_medium.jpeg and I've just finished it. I really learned a lot from this book considering I knew pretty much no algebra when I first opened it 2 months ago.

Now I am looking for my second book, I think I'm ready for precalculus stuff, trig ect but I'm really fussy when it comes to books. I really dislike books which have pages and pages of text, I like something to be explained, then explained with an example and then some exercises to be solved based on what I've just been told.

That Intergrated algebra 1 book does this very very well which is why I liked it so much. I'm thinking to pick up the next book from which is this http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/e0/ce/000acee0_medium.jpeg but just wanted to hear opinions.

Also if someone could recommend a basic and I mean very basic physics book, something which will teach me the basic stuff.

I'm self studying so books with plenty of exercises in will be a great plus!

Thank you.

Actually, I think that book is the THIRD in Amsco's series. Many schools (for good or bad) follow the Algebra 1 - Geometry - Algebra 2 sequence, so if you want to continue using the books from Amsco, you should get
http://www.amscopub.com/products/amscos-geometry-hardbound for your 2nd book. After that, you can use the Algebra 2/Trig book.
