About ChoisyaI am a 75+ retired widow living 20 miles north of London UK with my elderly black cat, Cleo. My Avatar is like her late beloved sister, Cagney. My hobbies are reading, gardening and travelling in Europe. I read the classics, history and politics, with an occasional foray into modern literature. I have lots of time to spare so am a regular visitor to the B&N Bookclubs, where I have been a contributor since 2003. (NB: I do not like the ranking system so prefer not to receive/give laurels/tags.)
