I assume you have included 'Applied Cryptography' by Bruce Schneier. This is a good starting point. He has had subsequent books, also maybe of interest.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for books on Cryptography especially geared towards beginners? I have a few titles in mind already, I just don't want to leave out any good one's if I can help it.

Murad, et al... Your best investment comes from New Riders publishing. They have a series of books focused on security mostly from and or by/overseen Stephen Northcutt. Network Intrusion Detection will teach you all about reading "the wire". Intrusion Signatures and Analysis will help you learn more and Network Perimeter Security is a good primer... Lots of luck.
