Hello! Books on GIF will help you find your next favorite book.
BoG is a smart, fun and free newsletter that uses GIFs to review books. You’ll see bestsellers, backlist, classics and obscure gems across genres, and we emphasize the joy of reading.
Here’s what to 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
We’re the animated alternative to boring book reviews. Enjoy!
