Jenny Lindh selects Christmas's 12 best audiobooks

In a new article in Dagens Nyheter, culture journalist Jenny Lindh recommends 12 favorite audiobooks from autumn's releases, ideal for Christmas preparations and the days between holidays.

Jenny Lindh, DN's reviewer, has throughout the year reviewed audiobooks in her column 'Listened with Lindh', focusing on thrillers, relationship stories, classics, and the season's most talked-about novels. In her latest article, published on December 23, 2025, she presents 12 favorites suitable for busy Christmas chores, slow inter-holiday days, and tasks like sorting wrapping paper. The article highlights how audiobooks provide a way to immerse in stories during the holidays. In parallel, Lindh reminds in another piece of the audiobook's long history, from 17th-century dreams of books 'for the ears' to 19th-century visions of 'sound hats', and its advantages over paper books.
