What is Shelf Conscious?
We’re Not a Book Club. We’re a Shared Shelf.
Shelf Conscious is a reader-made, vibe-checked community for anyone who loves stories, creating literary works, and gathering for intimate experiences.
We’re soft—and deeply unserious about shrinking our TBRs. Whether you’re here to connect, create, or lurk until you’re ready, you’re welcome.
We host gatherings (in Lagos), publish zines, and overshare in newsletters. It’s low-pressure, unapologetic, and built with people like you in mind.
