Hey there! I understand that you're looking to improve your SAT reading score, and I'm happy to help you find some useful prep books.

1. Official SAT Study Guide: This book is published by the College Board, who also creates the SAT test. It features 8 full-length practice tests along with detailed answer explanations, making it great for understanding the structure and content of the SAT.

2. Erica Meltzer's "The Critical Reader: The Ultimate Guide to SAT Reading": This popular book provides an in-depth understanding of the SAT Reading section. It breaks down each question type, offers targeted strategies and provides plenty of practice questions to help you improve your skills.

3. Barron's SAT Premium Study Guide: This guide is known for its comprehensive content and rigorous practice tests. It's a good option if you're also looking to practice other sections of the SAT as well. Just be aware that some of the questions might be a bit harder than what you'll see on the actual SAT, so don't be discouraged if you find them challenging.

Remember to supplement your prep books with online resources like Khan Academy, which provides free SAT prep materials, or CollegeVine, which offers advice and test-taking strategies. And most importantly, practice consistently! Good luck with your SAT prep and feel free to ask for more help if needed!
