It turns out those who stay at the hotel chain Travelodge may want to know how the 鈥淔ifty Shades of Grey鈥� trilogy turns out but don鈥檛 need to keep the books for a reread.
Travelodge recently compiled its annual list of the 20 books that are left at their hotels most often, according to the Guardian, and James鈥� 鈥淔ifty Shades Freed,鈥� the third book in her romance series, was the novel that was left at the hotels most often by guests. The hotel company estimated more than a thousand copies of the book were left at their locations.聽
The erotic novel 鈥淏ared to You鈥� by Sylvia Day came in second, while Jennifer Probst鈥檚 romance novel 鈥淭he Wedding Bargain鈥� (sense a theme?) took third place. The popular thriller 鈥淕one Girl鈥� by Gillian Flynn was fourth and J.K. Rowling鈥檚 satire 鈥淭he Casual Vacancy鈥� was the fifth-most-left book.
James and Day both appear on the list multiple times, with 鈥淔ifty Shades of Grey鈥� by James coming in at sixth and Day鈥檚 鈥淩eflected in You鈥� scoring seventh place. In addition, Day鈥檚 鈥淓ntwined with You鈥� has ninth place and James鈥� 鈥淔ifty Shades of Darker鈥� has tenth.
Probst also appears frequently, with her novel 鈥淭he Marriage Trap鈥� taking twelfth place and 鈥淭he Marriage Mistake鈥� coming in at sixteenth.
For reasons that customers left their books at the hotels, Travelodge says the most popular is the charitable 鈥渇inished reading it and left it for others,鈥� while the second most popular comes from absentminded customers: 鈥済enuinely lost or forgot it.鈥�
