Best Apps for Catching Up on Summer Reading

Whether you’re making your way through assigned summer reading for school, or just an adult who loves hitting the beach with a good book, keeping track of your summer reading has never been easier. Because there are apps that allow us to read on our mobile devices, as well as apps that are built to be companions to our reading life, it’s simple to stay caught up on your summer reading all season long. Take a look at some of the best apps for doing so below.

Goodreads
This app also has its own website, and it’s designed to help readers track what books they have read, are reading, and want to read. It also helps you to easily find books that interest you. You can write reviews and read others’ reviews for thousands of titles, making it a book lover’s paradise! If you’re looking for a place to discuss your favorite new novel, then Goodreads is it.

OverDrive
Books can be expensive, so why not take advantage of your local library this summer to read all the books you want at absolutely no cost? OverDrive makes this possible without even having to leave the house! This app grants you access to your local library’s database of e-book titles, allowing you to “borrow” them on your mobile device and read them there. Talk about economical and easy! Depending on your library, you can also borrow magazines, cookbooks, art books, movies, TV seasons, and comic books.

iReadItNow
For those who love to read, it can be tough to keep track of your personal library of books. After all, your vast range of titles could be tough to remember on your next run to the library or Barnes & Noble. Luckily, this app helps you to not only keep a database of what books you own, but it also allows you to make important annotations about each title, citing where you left the book or the last time you read them. There is also a feature with a barcode reader that lets you easily track books that you want to read. Talk about taking advantage of technology!

Summer reading has never been easier, nor has it ever been more fun with these apps! Read every book on your list this summer by taking advantage of these convenient and simple apps and you’ll read more pages than ever before. You’ll be sure to reach all of your summer reading goals this year.
