Goblin Mode is a jumble of mindfulness and aesthetic tips that give you permission to be messy and weird. Projects range from super basic, like how to sew on a button, to more ambitious like embroidery. For ambitious projects you'll want to find in-depth guidance elsewhere. This book is more about laying out the possibilities and maybe reminding you what you already know how to do.
The audiobook reader is very pleasant and this could be a nice book for relaxing and/or falling asleep.
Such a wonderful read. I felt less alone and part of a larger thing while reading this book. The illustrations are wonderful, the text is inclusive and devoid of the guilt tripping that you can sometimes find in non fiction books. I borrowed it from the library, but I want to own it so that I can get back to it whenever.
