Beyond the Kaleidoscope tutorial - books?

Beginners

I’ve been studying the Kaleidoscope tutorial while working on a language. It’s very helpful. Any recommendations on how to learn more beyond that tutorial. Topics like:

  1. Adding struct types. Strings, resizable arrays, user defined structs, etc.
  2. Dealing with heap memory management - manual or GC or other techniques.
  3. Throwing exceptions
  4. Small vector and matrix types, as used in graphics and geometry (are there special instructions?)
  5. Pattern matching

I can probably slowly put it together by poking around the docs and searching the internet. But it would be great to have a more helpful guide like that tutorial.
