Reading Apps for Parents on the Go

If you are a parent-on-the-go that never seems to have time to take part in one of your favorite pastimes, reading-it's time we change that! During the day when you are rushing around with your kids, you may find that you have a few extra minutes in the school pickup line or even while your kids are at an after-school activity. For those times you have a few minutes to yourself, try one of these five apps to catch up on a little reading.

Audiobooks From Audible- Perfect for all those times that you want to read a book but you don't have the time, Audiobooks from Audible is an awesome app to download audio books. If you are driving or you are at home, you can listen to your favorite mystery or that hit novel you've been dying to read.

Goodreads- The Goodreads app is perfect for readers that want a little help finding new books and authors that interest them. With the app you can quickly scroll through reviews, recommendations, and more.

Overdrive- This app will give users access to over 30,000 public libraries worldwide, and it has the ability to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and video from their catalog. For this app you will need to belong to your local library.

Serial Box- This app offers users great books that are broken up into episodes. So new portions of the stories are delivered weekly in either audio or ebook format. You can expect a different story every 10-16 weeks. This is a great app for someone that wants something new and different and might not have time to read and entire book in a few days or weeks.

Kindle- With a library of over a million ebooks that you can buy and a large collection of free ebooks, Kindle is a great app for readers.  You'll also find that users have access to local libraries to borrow ebooks. You can also sample books before purchasing-so if you don't like a book, you can return it. Kindle also has a built-in dictionary for quick reference.
