The Six-Gun Tarot: Weird West 18:38

18:38

Saddle up, listeners—this week, it’s just Jill holding down the fort, and she’s taking us deep into the dust and danger of the Weird West! We’re cracking open Six-Gun Tarot by R.S. Belcher, a genre-blending tale packed with cowboys, magic, ancient evils, and plenty of eerie surprises. How well does this book balance Western grit with supernatural thrills? What makes the Weird West such a fascinating genre? And—most importantly—how much of this would the improv crew have gotten right if they only had the cover and back blurb? Tune in for a solo ride through the wild, weird frontier! 🐍🔮🤠…

The Word is Murder: Who-dun-it 33:45

33:45

Welcome to Improvably Bad Books , the podcast where we throw logic out the window and dive into books with only the cover, the blurb, and our best (often terrible) guesses. Each episode, our improv crew attempts to reconstruct a book's plot before our library experts swoop in to set the record straight. Expect mystery, hilarity, and just the right amount of chaos as we piece together (or completely derail) the story. In this episode, we tackle The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz—murder, funerals, and curtain cords included. Will we crack the case? Probably not. But we'll have fun trying. Erin, Aaron, Zoe, and Jill just doing their best.…

"The Other Boleyn Girl – Sisters, Scandals, and Steve Buscemi?" In this episode of Improvably Bad Books, the team tackles The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory—but not before a deep dive into pen names, Henry VIII’s lack of appeal, and some questionable Star Wars takes. Andrea skims, Aaron knits, and somehow Steve Buscemi becomes a contender for King Henry himself. Meanwhile, the improv actors attempt to piece together a tale of power, betrayal, and historical inaccuracies with chaotic results. Join Jill, Zoe, Andrea, and Aaron as they fact-check, debate, and occasionally spiral into existential crises over monarchy, love, and pocket sizes. Tune in for history, hilarity, and the hot takes no one asked for! 🎭📖…

McKinney—a reimagined Alice in Wonderland with a thrilling urban twist.

The team also discusses the book's compelling mix of fantasy and real-world themes, from Alice’s high school struggles to her battles in Wonderland. Plus, they explore why this modern heroine resonates with readers and why the sequel is worth adding to your TBR.

Is that a dragonfly necklace, or is it just a ghost whispering to you? Join Jill and Sam on Improbably Bad Books as they dive into Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella—a tale of ghosts, fashion, and a feisty great-aunt from the Roaring Twenties. Together, they navigate the highs and lows of this charming chick-lit novel, from flapper dresses in modern-day London to secondhand embarrassment on the dance floor. Discover how a ghostly friendship turns into a heartfelt connection, why gin and tonics are the perfect book club pairing, and which 2000s-era Aston Martin made Sam's "solid writing" list.
