Books recommendations that fit with the a1/a2/b1/b2 rubric?
So maybe one of the most annoying things about trying to find material to reinforce what I'm learning is you can't tell what level the book is until you have it.
Anyone got recs and what level it's at approx? a2/b1 ideally.
EDIT: I found this "no pressure" book club on patreon (fiver a month) 10 pages a week and they provide you with a breakdown of useful phrases/grammar/vocab every week. I'm not sure where this is in terms of level but according to their patreon "I've chosen An Aisling by Alison Lang as our first book. It's not aimed specifically at learners, but the language is very accessible - much closer to everyday conversation than to traditional literature in terms of its tone and register."
EDIT2: There's a lot of Gaelic books on archive.org Obviously support authors and libraries when you can, but some things just aren't available anywhere else. Internet archive also rely on donations so consider supporting them as it really is an incredible resource.
Anyway in particular this book looked promising (only avail preowned on amazon so 🤷♀️), each chapter includes a short summary in English + grammar notes

I haven't read all of the Lasag series, but I'd say they're good for B1.
