First get the official cert guide https://www.ciscopress.com/store/ccna-200-301-official-cert-guide-library-9781587147142
For some reason its not on Amazon but its a good start. I'm not doing the exam myself but I got these books for reference.
If you don't have any way of building experience with work consider getting CBT nuggets access as they are very good. Download packet tracer and use the CML sandbox on developer.cisco.com for labs. The book above is good but there are 2 volumes of the official cert guide, worth a read I imagine. I did the old CCNA and it also had 2 volumes albeit for different exams.
Check out Kevin Wallace training on YouTube too as even though he's very dry he's very good. And David Bombal as well, his good stuff used to be paid but I think he's got a bunch of free courses nowadays.
I don't think you need to get a router or switch these days for a home lab but if you can get some off ebay for cheap it's worth having a play.
