A ‘shelfie’ is a photograph or self-portrait taken with a bookshelf as the backdrop, showcasing one’s personal reading collection and literary taste. It is a modern twist on the traditional ‘selfie’ and has become a popular trend among book lovers and social media users. The term combines the words ‘shelf’ and ‘selfie’ to capture the essence of capturing a moment with one’s beloved books. Whether it’s a carefully curated display or a messy stack of well-loved novels, a shelfie is a unique and personal way to share one’s love for literature with the world.
