Hi everyone! I'm Mike and I use GIFs to review books. Books on GIF comes out every two weeks and it features a diverse range of books (fiction, nonfiction, bestsellers, classics and graphic novels) and authors.
I started the newsletter because I was frustrated by the sameness in book criticism: everywhere you looked, from legacy publications to social media, you saw the same books, the same authors and the same style of discussion. I wanted to try something different, highlight the popular as well as the obscure, and maybe bring some fun and fresh air to the book space. I try to emphasize the joy of reading and finding books that have personal meaning over whether a book is 'good' or 'bad.'
Haaa, Mike, I wrote my post before I even saw this! Thanks as always for the boost, and also for pitching in to further troll the public with that horrendous brooch.
I am so glad to find you. Love books. Love innovative ways to talk about them. I'm looking forward to sharing your work with my subscribers who also love books.

A newsletter I just subscribed to today is: https://blgtylr.substack.com. Really excited to read it.
A newsletter that I always open immediately is Dearest. It’s so good! Just look at the crazy baby-face brooch in this edition! https://dearest.substack.com/p/stupidly-huge-diamonds-horrible-baby

Monica! If I can't unsee that brooch, than neither will anyone else!
I'm obsessed with Dearest (and your newsletter.)
Thanks! I am in awe of your newsletter and how you get to so many books and interview so many interesting people! It’s so good!
Lurve it, Mike!
Thanks, Jean! I’m glad you like it!
