Book Recommendation

I am an Indian and a 10th grader and shall start doing Olympiad mathematics as I shall be appearing for RMO next year. I have the following books for preparation:
- An introduction to Diophantine equations (by Titu Andreescu, Dorin Andrica & Ion Cucurezeanu)
- 103 Trigonometry problems (by Titu Andreescu & Zuming Feng)
- Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads (by Evan Chen)
- A path to Combinatorics for undergraduates (by Titu Andreescu & Zuming Feng)

How should I start preparing ? In which order? Also, is the first book sufficient for Number theory? What book should I buy for algebra that shall be within my monetary capabilities? Don't suggest me Aops books as I don't have enough money to buy them. I have got these books from my friend.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

First you need to complete Pre-College Mathematics (it is a must for olympiads).

Most Important thing for RMO is to solve previous year papers.

Some good books which I know:

You can Try Coxeter or Challegnig Problems in geometry By Alfred Posamentier for geometry, David Burton for number theory , Zdravko Cvetkovski for inequalities , rest do questions from Brilliant and AoPS.
