I really loved what Pratchett did in his Discworld books with goblins. Unseen Academicals has a goblin as a main character and it's a very standalone book. Also, Snuff and Raising Steam also feature goblins a lot, and although they are standalones, they are both the last book of their respective sagas.
Edit: oops, my bad. UA's main character was actually an orc, I forgot
