Hello there,

I hope this email finds you w-

Let’s try this again.

Welcome to ShelfShocked.com!

Jhumpa Lahiri once said, “That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

Books are entire universes waiting to be explored. Enter Nuno (me!): the most unprepared astronaut for the job—but one who dives in headfirst anyway. Armed with caffeine and an obsession for stories that stick with you long after you’ve used the book to prop up that wobbly table, this is where I take on sprawling sci-fi epics, pulse-pounding mysteries, and even the occasional philosophical rabbit hole.

If you’re here, I’d love to hear from you. Got a book I absolutely can’t miss? Thoughts on a review? Just want to talk stories? Let’s go baby. And if you’re an author or publisher, let’s connect—I’m always curious about what makes a book soar or sink.

So, grab your coffee (or whatever people drink these days) and join me as we tackle stories that refuse to let go, make us question everything, and—let’s be honest—help us put off all the work we should be doing.
