Check if your library has book club kits, like actual bags with 10 copies and discussion questions inside. Ours does and the kit list is already sorted by mood, so you can grab a twisty one and a quiet lit fic one in the same trip and let people pick based on the sample chapter. That part matters more than people admit, since the Gone Girl crowd usually bails on a slow opener but the lit fic folks get annoyed by a hook that goes nowhere. Reading the first page out loud at the meeting settles it fast. Boise sounds like they have their act together though.

Ha, my buddy had the exact same thing happen with an old wool army blanket he grabbed at a flea market for like four bucks. That thing weighed a ton and grabbed the couch like it was glued there, so he quit using his regular blankets completely. Problem was it smelled like a wet dog every time it got warm, so his wife banned it from the living room. He still swears it was the best fort fabric he ever owned though. Sometimes the cheap junk beats the stuff you pay real money for.
