20 - A Book with a Character who Does Pilates or Lagree

For Kindle readers, you can search your downloaded books all at once. :D

- From the home screen, type in "Pilates" at the top
- Click "Search everywhere for Pilates" at the bottom
- Pick "Text in Books"

I just tried it and only had one mention. What I assume is a very very minor character in The Fix mentioned she was going to go to a Pilates class lol.

I also tried that with no results. I think it would depend on the type of books on your kindle. Mine are mysteries and paranormal.

I've already suggested the The Thursday Murder Club series for the 'platonic friendship' prompt, and now it's occurred to me that, at least in the early books, Ibrahim does a Pilates class. And of course, the main characters, who are all old enought to be grandparents, start off in a mystery solving club.

Finally got round to charging my kindle so I could search. Got 41 results, some for Pontius. Here are the ones with more than one mention:

Girls Can't Hit by T.S. Easton - 12 mentions
The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke - 5 mentions
You Are Here by Eva Woods - 4 mentions
Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt - 3 mentions
Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella - 3 mentions
Contacts by Mark Watson - 2 mentions
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan - 2 mentions
The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley - 2 mentions
The Manifesto on How to Be Interesting by Holly Bourne - 2 mentions
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig - 2 mentions
Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison - 2 mentions

I'm assuming the search only works on those downloaded, so I expect I'll find more.

Okay. This came up in my kindle: Playworld by Adam Ross. Seems to have actual Pilates in it.

If you are willing to bend the prompt to yoga:
Such Sheltered Lives by Alyssa Sheinmel
Please Don't Lie by Christina Baker Kline
Tiny Daggers by Caroline Corcoran
House of Idyll by Delilah S. Dawson - has a full on hot yoga scene
Dollface by Lindy Ryan has some references/scenes talking about baby goat yoga? lol. It’s an ARC I haven’t gotten to yet but color me intrigued.
