Doesn't Bret Contreras have a bodyweight plan in his book (Strong Curves)? He also has this book on bodyweight training it looks like. Maybe one of those would be beneficial. :)
Here is most of my library, broken down, with links and some thoughts on each.

Etc... Google to find known authors and coachs and avoid pseudo-expert... You don't need to follow a lot of guys, choose just 3-4 very good ressources and it's sufficient.
This is a great respond. I second on that.
On a fitness side this book helped me a lot with traveling and being able to exercise everywhere.

Do you have any equipment at home? I keep a few kettlebells, dumbbells, resistance bands, stability ball, and a TRX at home.
Glutes & legs: kettlebell swings; kettlebell or dumbbell pile squats, dumbbell single leg deadlift, Bulgarian split squats, TRX single leg squats, stability ball hamstring curls, stability ball gluten bridges
Arms: bicep curls, dumbbell overhead tricep extensions, TRX WTY flies, push-ups, TRX reverse pull-ups
Abs: TRX pikes, planks, stability ball wall squat, roll ups, leg raises, Spider-Man plank crunch, bicycle crunch
Back and shoulders: dumbbell overhead press, lat dumbbell raises, dumbbell bent over row
If you don't have any equipment, then your going to have to do body weight exercises.
I recommend you get Bret Contreras's book on body weight workouts

I'm a bit late to this thread, but a friend of mine recently introduced me to bodyweight exercises (think pushups, pullups, squats, and mountain climbers). In 20 minutes, using no serious equipment (I use a pull up bar, some folks use towels for exercises that require suspension) you can get a fairly serious workout that engages all of your muscles, builds strength, and gets your heart rate WAY up.
I used this book which had some great information on the anatomical ideas behind planning a workout routine, but there are a lot of similar free resources out there, I'm sure.
Bret Contreras is a Ph.D fitness scientist who is highly respected in the fitness industry. He's all about the science. He's known as the Glute Guy because his research on the lower body produced the best routines for lower body posterior chain development. But he is in fact very knowledgeable about all aspects of strength and body building.
He has a book on body weight workouts
