Goblin Mode

How to Get Cozy, Embrace Imperfection, and Thrive in the Muck

By: McKayla Coyle

Narrated by: Julia Atwood

Embrace your inner goblin! Learn to decorate, dress, craft, forage, and live according to the goblin principles of community, diversity, proud weirdness, and joyful mess.

Do you ever feel strange, gross, chaotic, underappreciated, or like you don’t quite fit in? Great news: you might be a goblin! That means your imperfections and idiosyncrasies are the most awesome things about you, and you can build a more balanced, comfortable, harmonious life by accepting and honoring them—taking inspiration from the frogs, fungus, moss, rocks, and dirt that goblins love.

Can a mushroom give you fashion tips? Can a snail teach you to be a better person? You bet they can—and in this audiobook you’ll also learn to:

• Build a moss garden for your lair,
• Grow and use medicinal plants,
• Forage for berries (even in the city),
• Mend your cozy sweaters,
• Display your cool rock collection,
• And more!

Anyone can be a goblin, and Goblin Mode includes life advice for celebrating physical and mental diversity, rejecting prejudice, and generally hanging on to a little joy.

Goblin Mode will help you rethink your relationship with your body, your home, your community, and the earth.

Goblin mode? More like Hobbit Mode.

This book is really just about a cottage-core lifestyle that includes dirt and bugs. It completely disregards the vast majority of goblins in popular culture, dismissing every rough edge as “anti-semitism.” And while yes, that’s a real part of the history and is more than problematic, it seemed more of the author’s projection of what the portrayals meant.

Should be called Hobbit Mode. That lifestyle almost perfectly encapsulates what the author was describing, again minus the fixation on bugs.

Very comforting

This is a classic comfy guide to adding joy into your life. It was a little too short, and I would have loved more deep dives into the subjects. but overall a nice read.

Goblin mode engaged!

I truly adore this book! I downloaded it for a girls weekend out in the Forrest and we both thought it spoke to our little goblin souls! Thank you for this book!

This Goblin loves this book ❤️

This book spoke to the core of who I am. I loved so much a bought the hardcover too.

Cute and Relaxing Listen

The bad reviews are just people who fail to see any side other than their limited understanding of the world. Most of the book consists of adorable crafting ideas and supporting individualism and inclusiveness. Being kind to the person in a wheelchair, thrifting, people with different skin color than you, etc. is not radical. Neither is going outside and touching grass or deciding to do things that are better for the planet or embracing little crafting projects to decorate your home and clothes. Stop being such silly, angry people. This is a cute book and most of it is just cozy ideas and there is nothing wrong with that. Corporations and billionaires don’t care about you. Only a very select few will ever be part of that club and that doesn’t include so stop crying and pretending to be a victim and move on. Hating on such innocent, wholesome concepts is just sad and pathetic. It’s a cute book not some radical thing. Sheesh.
