To a large extent, it is simply up to you and what you want to work on. Above, I have tried to guess at the most likely candidates for beginner reading.

I can't recommend any of them.
Reason: I do not know your knowledge and playing level, as you have played no games here.
You described yourself as a "beginner", but this really does not mean much.
Yes sir i am new here, i will start playing chess here from now on.. what i meant at "beginner" is i have only the basic knowledge to the game of chess.. like the moves, the rules.. i play seldom at lichess.org and i have a rating of 1480 at classical 15+15.. i chose it because of the time, im not that quick to move my units.
