House of Maher

Welcome the formidable, the brilliant, the unapologetic Drew and Deison Afualo! Our fourth and fifth Maher sisters today are reigning queens of roasting and lesbian romances. First up: One of our sisters you may know as the woman who built a throne on the rubble of misogyny, armed with an unmistakable laugh and a take-no-prisoners attitude. She’s a TIME100 Creator, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and the first Samoan woman to become a New York Times bestselling author with her book, Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve.  Her sister Deison and partner-in-crime is the cohost of their chart-topping podcast, Two Idiot Girls, and she’s a powerhouse creator all her own. She’s a fierce advocate for queer Pasifika representation, a writer, and a comedian - She's also passionate about lesbian sports romances, which we get into in detail. You asked for it!

It would be crazy to do an episode about romance without an ACTUAL #1 NYT Bestselling romance author: Our fourth Maher sister today is a certified Renaissance woman who is as skilled with a frosting tip as she is with a Friends-to-Lovers trope. She owns three bakeries, and her books have sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. She has a knack for writing stories that make you laugh right before they make you cry. Her latest, Say You'll Remember Me, shot straight to #1, and she’s here to talk about writing romance that feels as real and satisfying as the perfect cupcake.  Support the show by supporting our sponsors!

We're doing the same thing you're doing this week, fam: Watching Twilight in our sweatpants. #comfortwatch Join us as we get into what we do on Thanksgiving before we walk down memory lane and celebrate the recent theatrical re-release of Twilight and debate whether Edward Cullen is still hot or just creepy (We love you, Robert Pattinson, and we love your Lie Detector test with Jennifer Lawrence). Plus, we get into watching Lord of the Rings for the first time EVER and whether or not those lil' hobbits are into each other or just friends. And it wouldn't be right to discuss all these adaptations without stepping into The Book Nook, so we're talking Alchemised (the published version of Manacled) as well as The Housemaid. Get in your cozies, pile some leftovers on your plate, and tune in! New episodes of House of Maher release every Tuesday!
