Sora, by OverDrive Education

I honestly think that this app is excellent. It is an app that my English teacher said we could use on our phone or devices when we want to get some reading in. I love how there are many books of different genres and how the books that I read, that usually aren't provided in places like usual libraries, are provided in the app. The only con about this app that I've encountered is that some of the audiobooks have reallyyyy boring voices. The audiobooks with voices that I feel are way to lifeless or boring, I just end up skipping and not even reading. I literally can't stand boring voices when it comes to audiobooks. Again, this doesn't apply for all of the audiobooks, but it definitely does apply for some.

Im supposed to read two books for my summer reading which is already stressful and a drag, I finally finish my first book and now about to borrow the second book I was supposed to read. My friend was just reading the second book, and mind you she just returned it! I go to borrow the book like a good student and it says I have to wait two weeks! I don’t have two weeks to wait. School starts less than two weeks and the book im reading for that class is HONORS!! I’m really upset and was looking forward to being prepared at my new school. No way someone took the book the second she returned it. I also placed it on hold before my friend even clicked to read it, so no, it did not just give it to the most recent person who placed it on hold, I was that person . No offense to the app, it’s actually very convenient when you prefer reading audiobooks 👀. I would like to read my book “A Little World of History”. I am Fuming.

Sora is an online library that schools can use to make different books available for students. I love Sora and I use it every day! I like being able to read books on my phone no matter where I am. Sora is great because it has good tools to annotate and bookmark books. I also appreciate the feature of being able to look up words or names within books, and define words. One of the clunkier things about Sora is the search feature. Whenever I accidentally spell a title wrong, it doesn’t understand what I am trying to say, and I have to completely retype the title. This is an issue because a lot of book titles are complicated and difficult to spell, especially on my phone. Other than this, I love using Sora and it is one of my favorite apps.
