In My Mailbox and Blog Tour: Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire

Bestselling author Gregory Maguire’s remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of “the magical land of Oz.” Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum’s world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire’s magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical. ~Amazon.com

I was lucky enough to snag a numbered and signed galley of Out of Oz in July from V.P. & Group Publicity Director Seale Ballenger from William Morrow.Since then, I've been cooking up a blog tour for this beauty of a novel. I'd like to put together a tour of about 6-10 bloggers that'll read the book before it's release on November 1. The reviews should up within a week before or after the release date.

If you live in the US and you're interested in participating in the blog tour for this highly anticipated work, please read below for the application process!
Send an email to jazzlsexton{at}gmail{dot}com with this info:

1. A link to your blog 
2. A link to a review that best exemplifies your writing style 
3. Why you want to review this book 
4. Your experience with The Wicked Years and The Wizard of Oz series (It's okay if you haven't read the preceding Wicked Years books. Maybe you've seen the musical, and want to read about what comes next. I'm looking for people whom are passionate about this new title.) 
5. Can you read a 563 page book in 1-2 weeks? 
6. Are you willing to pay shipping within the US? 
7. What state do you reside in? 

I hope the requirements don't feel too stuffy. This blog tour is meant to be high in quality and fun!
