Why it reads this way
书卷 (Shū Juǎn) is an editorial Chinese given name. 书 means book, letter, document; writings. 卷 means scroll; curl; make a comeback. The feel is intellectual, gentle, warm, leaning female. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Shū Juǎn. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.
How to introduce it
“My Chinese name is 书卷. 书 — book, letter, document; writings; 卷 — scroll; curl; make a comeback.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李书卷 (Lǐ Shū Juǎn), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
