These are my favorite ones for retirement:

How To Make Your Money Last by Jane Bryant Quinn
The Five Years Before You Retire by Emily Guy Birken
How To Plan for the Perfect Retirement by Dana Anspach (The Great Courses)
Retirement Planning Guidebook by Wade Pfau
The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb by Ed Slott
Living Off Your Money by Michael McClung
The Wealthy Gardner by John Soforic

One of the best resources I've found isn't a book, but a podcast called Big Picture Retirement. Start at the beginning, as what they discuss tends to build on prior knowledge.

Mad Fientist is good for those looking to tax optimize and FIRE. The wiki here has good recommendations for reading -- Simple Path to Wealth is an easy read. Something else not stressed enough: Get it together - organize your records so your family won't have to (Cullin, part of the NOLO series). Two free books: https://paulmerriman.com/millions-downloads/

Possibly too simple for where you’re at, but if you don’t have a budget plan that you’re 100% happy with already, then I highly recommend You Need a Budget by Jesse Mecham. It changed the way I think and feel about budgeting.

The Richest Man in Babylon. Money management isn't complicated. The old ways are simple and still work best.

Don’t overlook “How to Make Your Money Last” by Jane Bryant Quinn. A good overview of the nuts and bolts of retirement.

Unlock the Power of Your Portfolio: Proven Strategies for Maximizing Returns in the Stock Marketis legit the only book I feel is geared towards beginners.

There are a lot of books with a ton of knowledge (many already recommended) but they seem to be written with the intent of showing off THEIR knowledge instead of teaching YOU anything.
