For Geography i would definitely recommend doing some pre-reading so you go in ready , some good ones i would recommend are:
When the rivers run dry - Fred Pearce
Factfullness - Hans Rosling
The Prisoners of geography - Tim Marshall
The power of geography - Tim Marshall
The Future of geography - Tim Marshall
I found all of these really useful, hope this helps !!

They are all about 250 - 350 pages long , and some of that is diagrams and maps , especially Factfulness the entire book is just graphs and stuff
Good luck with your GCSE's hope they all go well , if you have any other questions just ask
