The 20 Books Hotel Guests Most Frequently Leave Behind

Before you check out of your hotel on your next vacation, don't forget do a quick sweep of the room for reading material—especially if you brought along any of the books on this list. As Travel + Leisure reports, these are the books guests are most likely to leave behind according to one hotel chain.

The hotel chain Travelodge recently reviewed the books guests have forgotten on their nightstands, and they noticed several titles that appeared more frequently than others. The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, was the the No.1 most-abandoned book, followed by The Couple Next Door by Sharri Lapena and Bad Dad by David Walliams.

Three books from the Harry Potter universe—Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling, and the Harry Potter: Coloring Book from Warner Bros.—made the list. Other children's titles included Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway by Jeff Kinney and Disney Princess Beauty and the Beast Magical Story from Disney. Guests also left behind plenty of thrillers aimed at adults, like Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and IT by Stephen King.
