Bitsy Words is a new weekly feature here at Gone with the Words where we will talk about books we’ve read in short, mixed media form.
We read a lot, but we don’t always review everything because sometimes a standard review is not what’s right for it. Sometimes we want to express reactions to it in a different way, be it by writing a few words, a list, a song, a photograph, a collage, a GIF… you get the idea. So this is how we’ll be doing that.
So what do you guys think?! I’d been wanting to start this for a while and what really stumped me was what to call it. I wanted it to be short and still relating to the blog name/theme. Most likely these will go up on Fridays, but we’ll see. Keep an eye out!

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading!
I think it’s a great idea Jess. Sometimes I prefer quick recaps/reaction gifs/collages to see if the book is something that I want to try out. I say full steam ahead my friend.

It really does help with a)my need to track my reads and b)to say something about the books I read
I think your mixed media idea will be fun!

It’s a great idea. I’ve been toying with speed date and tweet reviews to mix things up.

What a fun idea! I like the idea of y’all using different methods to “review” some of the books you read, and can’t wait to see the first set.

This is awesome! I love to see GIFs in reviews because often they make the point so much more clearly. ;) Can’t wait to see what you ladies come up with.
