Mains preparation

Hello everyone,
I have been preparing for the exam since july last year. I had been reading books with a hardcore "pre" perspective but now i have realized that this is not going to work well in the long term. So i have planned to pay attention to some aspects and subjects required only for mains for next 2 months or so. Being a newb in the preparation i have the following doubts:

1. Which books i should read for topics such as social issues, governance, public administration, ethics and integrity etc.?
2. How to prepare economics, polity, history etc(subjects which are also in prelims) with a mains perspective?
3. When should i start answer writing practice and from where should i pick questions for that?
4. How to practice essay writing?i.e. from where to get relevant topics and advise etc.

Please provide answers to the above questions as per your wisdom and experience.

Thank you
