‘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


Books on GIF is a smart, fun and free biweekly newsletter that uses GIFs to review books. We say we’re the animated alternative to boring book reviews.

You’ll see bestsellers, classics and forgotten gems across an array of genres, and we emphasize the joy of reading and connecting to books.

Newsletters hit inboxes every other Sunday.

Enjoy!
