[Understanding Thermodynamics, H. C. Van Ness] (https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Thermodynamics-Dover-Books-Physics/dp/0486632776)
I didn't truly understand thermo until I finally read this book in my 3rd year of my chem eng undergrad.It goes through the basics using lots of examples and analogies that really just helped things 'click' for me.
One thing to note though: if you're studying a thermodynamics heavy engineering degree, you'll spend a large amount of time studying things like fugacity, boundary conditions and equations that attempt to approximate solutions to non-ideal problems/approximate error. These don't have much to do with 'thermodynamics' in the traditional sense, imho. That book won't help much in understanding those ugly things.
