If you fall squarely in the center of the Venn Diagram of “loves books” and “loves cats,” you’ve come to the right place. There’s something about the connection of cats and books that runs a thread through history and continues to be seen through contemporary times. Perhaps it’s that cats are solitary creatures or that

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sandra Lee unloaded their longtime Mount Kisco, NY, home right before the governor was hit with controversy. The former pair initially listed the Westchester County property in May 2019 for $2 million. They eventually sold the home on Dec. 23, 2020, for $1.85 million. Cuomo, 63, and Lee, 54, purchased the
