John Fox's book is great. It's mostly linear regression models for continuous variables, but the GLM section is very helpful. If I remember correctly, the second edition is way more helpful with GLM than the first.
For categorical variables Scott Long's book is wonderfully helpful.
Unfortunately both are expensive. Hopefully your library has them.
Any more specificity in what types of variables you might be working with or what your data is like? Knowing what type of link function you're looking for my give you better results from some of the uber statisticians here.
Beyond intermediate texts, my classes ended up just reading papers from econ journals. You may want to pick up an econometrics text, get familiar with the methods, then read papers (here is a list of the 100 most cited).
I wrote my opinions on econometric textbooks I've used for another reddit comment, so I just pasted it in below. If you get into it, I'd recommend reading a less rigorous book straight through, then using a more rigorous text as reference or to do the practice stuff.
