Another go beginning with the easiest. Word count doesn’t tell the whole story, some may have longer and more complicated sentences, or more advanced grammar, but word count is still a good hint. If you are looking up too many words, try another, and come back to it later. And a few have audio.
I’m working my way through this list. It is amazing how much lots of reading helps. Happy reading
