Here is my short list of books that I usually recommend as starting points (most of these are found in the FAQ as well):
You can also check out the IEP entries on Stoicism and Stoic Ethics if you'd like to start with briefer reading first.
Finally, there are a number of videos on Stoicism and related topics that you may find helpful. (But of course books go into more depth than short videos can.)
Familiarize yourself with the 3 disciplines of Stoicism, eg here. This cannot be overstated, as understanding them helps prevent 90+ % of the common misunderstandings of Stoicism.
If you feel like your background on Stoicism is lacking, I recommend reading Stoicism, A Very Short Introduction by Brad Inwood, which does a wonderful job of portraying Stoicism as a whole.
If you have not already I would recommend reading the Enchiridion daily, until you can recite it almost completely by heart. Play around with the ideas and try to apply them to concrete situations in your life, try to find multiple examples per entry.
Particularly try to apply the dichotomy of control to everything. Start asking yourself constantly if what you see/experience might just be a semblance, a wrong impression. Start being consciously aware of your thoughts. I feel that journaling, helped a lot with this.
I also recommend reading On application of philosophy, and other insightful posts by u/cleomedes.
