I'm not sure I QUITE understand it, and I don't have a blog apart from here on Crimespace but I'd be interested since it sounds like fun (of course, since I don't totally understand it, I might be completely wrong!) and I like your idea of the themes. I'm not a big fan of those blog book tour things because it just feels like OTT BSP and just tends to put me off the book in question, but this idea sounds interesting and entertaining.

Thanks - I was looking for an example but the one I'm professionally aware of would not sound like much fun (really, who but nerdy librarians would be excited about the Carnival of the Infosciences?) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_carnival">Wikipedia</a> defines what they are and some of their citations provide <a href="http://sciencepolitics.blogspot.com/2005/06/blog-carnivals-and-future-of.html">more details</a>.<br />

Karen - I'll be in touch! I think it's worth a try.

Sounds a bit like what MotherTalk.com does with blog book tours and "bonanzas" - the latter especially. The one we did to promote Ariana Huffington's latest book had a "fearless" theme in which we blogged about fearless parenting. The blog book tours are basically reviews, but the tour organizer aggregates the bloggers on that one site. You can visit the site to get more of an idea of what I'm talking about to see if it matches your idea.<br />
<br />
In general I love the idea!

Barbara - I'm not aware of one at all and it would be interesting.<br />
<br />
Setting up what you're talking about could be an interesting task - yell if you need a hand from the back-end point of view - we might be able to collaborate if you need a place to "be".

True - but crimespot is more of a blog aggregator. The idea of a carnival is not just to pull together links but to write about what's going on out there, comment on it and then pass it along to the next host. That way readers get to visit various blogs and each carnival host gets to put their own spin on the crime fiction scene. It might be a bit more like a a blogging party where we seek our inner <a href="http://www.sarahweinman.com/confessions/">Sarah Weinmans</a>. On an ongoing basis.

It sounds interesting to me. I don't think i could become involved at the moment as i have a savage workload but i'd follow it!
