For contemporary book additions:

Pic related is a decent overview of the history of the early middle ages.

I would also recommend Belloc's Europe and the Faith for an insight into how religion was intertwined with life and the very political structure during this time.

Other potential history books:
>The Byzantine Empire and the Plague: The History and Legacy of the Pandemic that Ravaged the Byzantines in the Early Middle Ages

>The Tibetan Empire in Central Asia: A History of the Struggle for Great Power Among Tibetans, Turks, Arabs, and Chinese During the Early Middle Ages

Primary source history books:
>The History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours
>The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by Bede
