I would suggest using it a couple times during the year. Specifically January: Wild Card and August: Free For All (any genre), due to the random, surprise nature of those months anyway, as well as one of the two Classic months so that we can have one with and one without.
Sure we didn't have the campaigning. But we did have some fun discussion. Heck, I even got to make a countdown timer. The results were the closest they have been in a long time (if ever). So I do think the blind vote worked. It achieved the result of the winning book being the one more people wanted and not because other books had no hope in hell of winning.
