Books on GIF is a smart, fun and free newsletter that uses GIFs to review books. We’re the animated alternative to boring book reviews, and we’re here to help you find your next favorite book.
You’ll see bestsellers, backlist, classics and obscure gems across an array of genres, and we emphasize the joy of reading and connecting to books.
Here’s what you can expect:
Biweekly book reviews. Some of our recent favorites include 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontë, 'James' by Percival Everett and 'Parable of the Sower' by Octavia E. Butler.
Monthly discussion threads. BoG subscribers and I recently shared our favorite summer reads.
Reader-selected reviews. Once a month, I share books from my TBR and subscribers vote on what I should review first.
Here’s what others have said:
‘Books on GIF is a brilliant high-low fusion of an old art form and modern storytelling device.’—Esquire
‘Books on GIF is exactly what it sounds like: a book review sent every other week, told with gifs.’—Book Riot
‘Books on GIF is one of my favorite bookish newsletters.’—What to Read If
Enjoy!
