The book club meets once a month in a café near the station. Anyone (27)______ enjoys reading is welcome to join. We choose the next book together, so nobody has (28)______ read something they really dislike. Meetings normally last about ninety minutes, and we spend most of the time talking (29)______ the story and characters. The group has grown so much (30)______ we now reserve a larger table. I joined six months ago and have (31)______ several writers I had never read before. Their opinions are often different (32)______ my own. The change has become part of my normal routine, and I now notice the benefits more clearly than I did at the beginning. It has also encouraged me to plan ahead and make small practical improvements.
