The Housemaid also topped the charts when it came to physical loans, with the title being borrowed more than 3,000 times.
McFrederick said the release of the movie adaptation, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfield in 2025, had brought a whole new audience to McFadden’s work.
Niall Williams’ historical fiction book based in 1960s Ireland, Time of the Child, came close to beating McFadden with only 15 loans behind.
When it came to non-fiction, global best-seller, The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins came first, slightly ahead of Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
The wider top five reflected variety from self improvement to baking, including Mary Berry’s very best recipes.
Variety continued for junior readers. A Belfast Fairytale led the fiction category with nearly 3,000 loans and the Guinness World Records 2026 took the lead in non-fiction.
