There is the classic that everyone should know https://verbum.com/product/263853/on-the-incarnation?

The Cross of Christ is good. For the non-academic, I like Butler's Studies of the Savior.

I agree with @MJ. Smith on On The Incarnation.

This Advent Devotional is one of the best that I have read. It gives hope, joy, comfort, peace, and a whole lot of assurance in Jesus Christ. I loved every minute of reading it.

To learn, i.e. study, definitely https://www.logos.com/product/229678/katholische-dogmatik-fur-studium-und-praxis-der-theologie?queryId=08ba61142880355ee520ed013ea99d5d

For me personally, I can't decide among

Hans Urs v. Balthasars Theodramatik III. Die Handlung. (carried in English translation as https://www.logos.com/product/27585/theo-drama-vol-iv-the-action?queryId=98daef760a1923cd2196f290c5bcbfef )
