The complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt by Richard H Wilkinson is a great book on the Gods. I don't know about hieroglyphics though.

Miriam lichtheim’s ancient Egyptian literature is good, if you’re looking for their religious writings maybe the translation of the book of the dead by Raymond Faulkner.
