I have many books and stuff but I am stuck on Jurassic Park/World and King Kong and they are just movies. So please find some sources not blogs and fiction.

I suppose there are really good books like Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia and Dinosaurs Past and Present.

There are also really good dinosaur courses you could check out.

How about podcasts? There is a really good podcast called I Know Dino. They post podcasts on dinosaurs and each episode is on a specific dinosaur. But if you want to get into more technical, more advanced topics, I highly recommend The Complete Dinosaur 2nd Edition, The Dinosauria 2nd Edition, and college size textbooks like Dinosaurs: A Concise Natural History 3rd Edition, Dinosaurs: The Textbook 6th Edition, and Introduction to the Study of Dinosaurs 2nd Edition and I also recommend The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs 2nd Edition. For a less advanced read I would recommend Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved, The Rise and Fall of The Dinosaurs, Giants of The Lost World, Why Dinosaurs Matter, and The Sauropod Dinosaurs. But I would also put novels. You don't learn much but, they are good reads. I would say Raptor Red and Cretaceous Dawn are the best dinosaur novels. There are some other good ones but most dinosaur novels portray dinosaurs as beasts so, I highly not recommend those novels.

Websites are really good sources but watch out what you are looking at. The only good one I found was Skeletal Drawings.

I highly recommend open access journals to read articles in dinosaurs and stuff.

I forgot but a beginner's read would be the Dinosaurs: The Most Complete Up-to-date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of all Ages. But other good sources do include the book Pterosaurs if you want to learn about dinosaur life beyond dinosaurs
