If you need books about structure and plotting, Save The Cat does a really good job at creating a roadmap for you to follow if you want to write a successful book. It is for screenwriting but you can use it for novels as well.

There's also Save The Cat! Writes a Novel if you think that a book on screenwriting wouldn't be of your taste.

Here's the links.

Yeah, totally! There's always Stephen King's 'On Writing', which is a classic. And if you're looking for something more contemporary, there's 'Steal Like an Artist' by Austin Kleon - it's hype!
  








This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
— Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
