They probably wanted to know how you educate yourself and grow your expertise. Totally reasonable question in my opinion.

That question didn't sound like a smart question. Interviewer should have asked you about your approach to resolve an issue, not what book do you read! In testing, we generally don't study/ follow any book. We do google search/ take courses on specific tools/framework.

There's a whole list of them curated on Prepfully. prepfully.com/practice-interviews
