Finding interesting story books for A2 German learning doesn't have to be a chore - here you can read the research I've done for you and simply purchase the books and have them delivered.
Some books are available in digital versions, which does save space, however there are distinct advantages to having a physical book, from less screen time to easily writing notes on the page.
The most important part, however, is having reading material that is at your current level of German (these are all A2 books) that are interesting to read and help you solidify your skills. Here are 5 such books, written specifically for German learners at the A2 level.

So ein Pech!
No Octoberfest this year. Oktoberfest would have been from September 19 to October 4.
So...we make our own!
Here are the three ingredients to make yourself a fun (and safe) Oktoberfest right at home:
Schlager. Essen. Dekorationen.
Schlager Music. Food. Decorations.

1. Schlager!
Schlager is its own genre of music. It's a mix of traditional tunes and pop music and it's really distinct. A lot of Schlager TV shows in Germany show people sitting around tables, bobbing their heads and smiling while a singer steps between the tables, lip-syncing to a song. Yep, Milli Vanilli style.

Es gibt Tage, an denen ich nur frustriert bin, egal wie gut alles läuft.
Manchmal bin ich einfach gereizt.
Dann brauche ich etwas Gutes. Eine Idee, die mich daran erinnert, dass diese Probleme nur Kleinigkeiten sind. Ich gehe in den Park, kuschle mit Connor, oder höre schöne Musik. Ich möchte daran erinnert werden, was Sie unten lesen.
Geht es Ihnen auch so?
There are days in which I am completely frustrated, no matter how well the day goes.
Sometimes I'm simply cranky.

When you grow up in Wisconsin, potato salad is a fairly common salad. But the "German Potato Salad" I had growing up was...not...what I ate in Germany.
I wonder if the recipes that so many of German heritage here in Wisconsin enjoy are from the generations that immigrated to the US?
I ate a lot of Kartoffelsalat in Germany. As in two servings (at least) at any party I went to. Except for one, that one Kartoffelsalat was not good. It was that bad that I remember it 15 years later. As we say here in Wisconsin: Uff-da.
But the best Kartoffelsalat I ever had, well, today's your lucky day because this is it. Remember that cooking something like potato salad is an art, not a science. Follow the recipe and try it multiple times - you'll get it down after you've made it a few times.
