When you say “Hangi başka kitapları okuyorsun", it sounds like you are reacting to a previous statement, if that makes sense. Example: -Başka kitaplar da okuyorum. (I read other books as well) +Hangi başka kitapları okuyorsun? (What other books are those that you are reading?)

My answer had "diğer" instead of "başka" and hence was marked incorrect. So what's the difference between the two?

If I remember correctly 'diğer' is used when you mean a specific other and 'başka' is used when you do not have a specific alternative in mind.
'diğer restorana git' / 'go to the other restaurant' e.g you have a concrete other restorant in mind 'başka restorana git' / 'go to another restaurant' e.g you don't have a specific alternative in mind... just go somewhere else
I am sure there are people who know the correct grammar lingo for this but this is as good as İ can explain.

this is more likely to be translated into 'what are the other books that you're reading?'.

Same here, I agree. Could the sentence be "Başka hangi kitaplar okuyorsun?", i.e. without the "-i"?
