That's right.. you have permi
ssion to stay in bed and read all day! Why? Cos it's for a good cause. The idea is that you stay in bed and read all day - forgo the housework and the othe
r mundane tasks, demand breakfast in bed and order takeaway to be delivered for lunch and dinner! READ!! Then after the event, make a
donation to your favourite literacy charities.
The event's official charity of choice is: Dymocks Children's Charities, but in case you'd like to know about other literacy charities, I've done you a favour by linking to a few literacy groups below:
- United Through Reading
- The Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation
- National Literacy Trust (UK)
- The Book Bus
- My Little Bookcase
So, you love the idea, don't ya? I'm pretty certain with my three little boys and one big boy, I won't be able to spend the WHOLE day in bed but I'm gonna be sure to spend some time reading in bed - more than I normally would anyway!
If you want to participate in this awesome day. And let's face it, who wouldn't, sign up to the Facebook event at: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=123341761089282
Oh and if anyone knows of any good literacy charities, please post them in the comments section of this blog post :)

Hi Rachae,
Thanks for the heads up on Global reading in the bed day!
Lol, I missed teh L in your name! Sorry :(
Hey Rach,
I LOVE the sound of this day. What a great excuse to sit in bed and read!
Oh, this sounds GLORIOUS! I hope I can do it!
Just home from London Rach and the thought of spending a day in bed reading sounds like pure bliss right now........
What a WONDERFUL idea! I doubt I'll be able to pull off reading in bed the entire day (three kids, summer holiday, you know how it is), but I'm gonna do my best!
oooh, I love it! What a great idea for a good cause.
It's an awesome idea, isn't it ladies.
Aimee - like you, I probably won't be able to spend nearly enough time reading in bed but I'll do my best to try :)
Your blog was really helpful and interesting. I really enjoyed reading it. I would recommend it to my friend.
