Best Business school books, essay prep, resources?

Hey everybody - I am on the last leg of my consulting stint before bouncing to a new job with the hope of applying to business school within the next 1-2 years. Luckily, my current consulting job does give budget for business school prep materials and I have not used any of it (~$1K). Before I leave, I was hoping to purchase some business school self-help books that would be helpful for when I apply!

I have already taken the GMAT so GMAT prep books are out. I have looked on GMAT club and WSO but seems to be some mixed reviews as the best books and would love to get the "Top 10" books from fellow monkeys.

Thanks
