Hotel chain Travelodge revealed the 10 most-left-behind books at their locations, and the list includes some pretty riveting best sellers.
Topping the list is Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel from 1985, "The Handmaid’s Tale," which is now a Golden Globe-winning TV series. Either travelers are merely forgetful, they got too stressed out following Offred’s harrowing journey, or they couldn't put the book down and finished it before their vacations were through.
“Interestingly the Travelodge Books Left Behind Index shows that classic and popular books that have been turned into an award winning TV series or a box office movie have instigated an appetite for Britons to delve back into paperbacks,” Travelodge spokesperson Shakila Ahmad said
The list also includes a number of coloring books, presumably left behind by children, and President Donald Trump’s "The Art of the Deal."
Travelodge says more than 70,000 books have been left behind in the chain’s 42,000 rooms across the U.K.
