Can you recommend any books?
I'm hoping someone might be able to recommend some books in Spanish that wouldn't be too advanced for someone with two (recent) semesters of Spanish. Novels or short stories would be great.
I have done a "search" but there's no way of knowing what levels the books on the lists are.
Gracias.

i knew a book but forgot the name sorry maybe try the spanish dictionary or you could go to the library to see if they recomend anything
maybe you should try online books or websites
The first real novel I read in Spanish was the first Harry Potter book. It is a book that is written on a 5th or 6th grade level, but is very well written and is interesting. Another plus is that the English version is very readily available if you want to compare the two versions.
Along the same lines, "Los juegos del hambre", or "The Hunger Games" falls into the same category of books written for the teen reader market, and are available in both languages.
The big thing is to read something that interests you. Don't try to know every word, because you can figure out what is happening from context. If you press yourself a little, you will be suprised at how far you can get!
¿Como acerca la biblia? Lo es llena con bueno cuentos !
Recommendations for reading.
Try well-known stories written for children. I have Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. There are dual text books (English/Spanish) that you can borrow from libraries. Persevere with the reading; do not look up every word. Only when you lose the sense of the story should you use the dictionary. Believe me it will become easier to progress to more adult reading. I've been there.
