What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, and welcome to a very special pilot episode of SparklePod Book Club, a brand new little branch of the Move It Mama podcast. If you know us, you know we're all about finding ways to help us feel good through exercise, connection, community, and carving out little pockets of joy in the everyday. And for so many of us, reading is one of those pockets of joy. So we thought, why not bring that into the podcast too? This is the beginning of a casual, cozy, no pressure book club where we can chat about the books we're reading, the stories we're loving, the characters we can't stop thinking about, and all the feelings that come with getting lost in a really good book. And obviously, we're not doing it alone.
Joining us is Sarah Mitzi, Hobbsie, Move It Mama trainer and chief book lover extraordinaire, the perfect person to dive into these conversations with. Together, we'll be unpacking books we've read, books we're currently reading, and probably plenty of side tangents along the way. Possib largely thanks to my taste for smut. So whether you've read the book and are ready to dissect it with us or you're just here while you clean your loos, we're happy you're here.
What books have the hosts recently finished reading?
Let's get into it.
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
Very good. Very good.
Yeah, true. So true. I'm literally thinking about the books I read. And I just feel so close to everyone in the books I read. Do you guys?
Yeah, I do. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Like the one that I'm currently reading, I'm really struggling with, but we can talk about that. Oh, give it a rest then, girl. No, because everyone's telling me to read it.
I hate that pressure from the outside world telling you to read books. And then you start reading them and you're like, why am I not liking this? Everybody that I like, likes it. So I've got to keep going.
Yeah, well also... It's because it made Jess cry and she's like made of stone.
What are the hosts currently reading and how do they feel about it?
I'm like, I need to know what this book's about. What's the book called?
I need to write it down.
We'll get there. We'll get there.
Oh, right. Okay. Sorry, we're having structure today. I'll stop.
I'll shut up. But what is actually really wild is I started talking to myself out loud in the shower earlier going, it is so weird.
No, you didn't. Sorry.
I did. I did. Actually, out loud to myself, I was like, it is so weird. This is out loud. It is so weird that we now live in a world where where we choose books recommended by people we don't know. So imagine circa pre-TikTok Instagram era where Steph Mitzi went down the road and just chose a book just relative to her own brain.
What themes are explored in the discussion about smut and its appeal?
That's untrue.
There's always book clubs and stuff.
Okay, book club, the newspaper. And chat and friends. Everyone still talked. You get my point. Not to the... extent or the volume that we're currently smothered with.
Remember in magazines, must-reads, there were pages of must-reads.
Yeah, but you're getting five per month that way.
Our whole brains are saturated now with everything. But can we just go back to the elephant in the room? Talking in the shower?
Yeah. It's so loud. I either talk or I sing. I never do either. Wow.
Do you know? You'll have fun.
How do the hosts relate their reading choices to their personal lives?
No, to be honest, I have started because we had this motivational speaker. His name's Robin Banks. Great name. And I choose the shower for my mantra. And it's just two lines. But 2026 is the best year by far. This is the year I raised the bar. And it's those two lines.
I know, it's really cheesy. Wait, who gave you that bank? It did Robin Banks.
Robin Banks. Yeah, yeah. To be fair, I don't think that a man should be called Robin. I think that's a very feminine name, but that's just another.
He's South African and he's very humorous.
Was he caught?
Quite cool. He was just quite cool, yeah. Yeah.
What listener questions do the hosts answer about their favorite books?
Okay, so do you say that every shower now?
Yeah, at least five times. Five times. That's ten, but five. Lisa's loving it.
I literally don't talk. I think I'm introvert in the shower. That's where you spend your time, being introverted. That's the five minutes a day. I think a lot. I actually think in the shower. I need to be a bit more vocal.
