Following that last book recommendation of simple beginners short stories I have chosen for you, we are going to be talking about books for beginners to intermediate short stories and text books. I hope you like these Book Recommendations for Portuguese Learners.
Let's start with...

Beginner to Intermediate Level Short Stories
This one is is a good choice if you believe the beginner's books would be to easy for you. Remember to always challenge yourself. If you feel that the book is too easy to comfortable, you need a better challenge.
Beginner to Intermediate Level Children's Books
Turma da Mônica Lendas para Crianças
Last time we mentioned specific folklore titles for you to read. This time we have a very simple but amazing book by Maurício de Souza. We this one, you can read a little bit of various tales.
Brazilian Literature
This one is a classic story that our children read when they are in primary school. It is at the perfect level for an Intermediate to Advanced level learner. I read it a few times in my teenage years, and I would read it again.
European Portuguese Short Stories
For those learning European Portuguese, I recommend these series which are presented in A1 e A2
Now... if you are more advanced and need a better challenge, Dom Casmurro is the book for you. I read it in secondary school, again in university - I studied language and literature - and many more times after that. It is one of those books that will make you have a different perception every time you read it. I still have not decided whether Capitu is guilty or not.
This book has various editions, various covers, and it has been translated to quite a few languages. You can also read it in English here. Because one way or another.... you've got to read this book!
Contemporary Books
Looking for book that keeps you curious, intrigued? This story pinch of love and a pinch of mystery. You should definitely give it a try. I do not want to give too much away. I like spoilers but most people don't.
A few of these books we have mentioned today are with a great price on Kindle. They could even be free with your Kindle Unlimited Subscription. So if you still do not have your subscription you should get it. It is definitely worth it.
Which titles caught your eyes?
Have you ever read any of them?
Which other titles would you suggest?
Next time, I will bring a few course and textbooks you can use to learn Portuguese, maybe even a few good books to learn more about Brazil's amazing history and culture. Would you have any recommendations?
