The Tale of The Book Goblins
Enter the Chief Book Goblin, a lazy creature who did not like to leave their den for books for it being too far (and fear of oncoming adventuring parties).
So they did what all great leaders do and delegated the task to their handy Book Goblin Goons. They braved the wilds to bring the Chief written tales and the occasional snack. What service!
But the Chief wanted more. More titles and more independent authors. This gave the Chief Book Goblin an idea, they would do it themselves and bring books to the masses!
​
So they created this site to bring books to all! All were happy. The Chief had something that brought them joy and the Book Goblin Goons could resume more important tasks like raiding villages or steam cleaning curtains...

A More Realistic Tale (The Boring Version)
The Book Goblins started as a running joke and like all jokes we took it to the extreme.
​
I am based in Goulburn (so really we should have been book ghouls, what a lost opportunity!). The nearest bookstore had what I was were looking for was an hour away. Unacceptable. My sibling and friend whom we affectionately call the Goblins (foreshadowing!) would offer to bring me back books from their journeys. I then decided that while service at home was lovely I needed more books and more independent authors for two genres I love.
So I jokingly said I would be my own Book Goblin, the Chief if you will and here we are.
I want to bring as many interesting stories and books that made me smile to others! If there is something YOU the person reading this want and can't find, contact us! I will hunt it down and thank you for the recommendation for something new!
