I adore PRML, but the scope and depth is overwhelming. LfD encapsulates a number of really core principles in a simple text. The companion course is outstanding and available on EdX. The tradeoff is that LfD doesn't cover a lot of breath in terms of looking at specific algorithms, but your other texts will do a better job there. My second recommendation is to read the documentation for Scikit.Learn. It's amazingly instructive and a practical guide to doing ML in practice.
