October 8 – Octopus Day, for all the eight-armed species
October 9 – Nautilus Night, a time for all the lesser-known extant cephalopods
October 10 – Squid Day/Cuttlefish Day, or Squittleday, covering the tentacular species
October 11 – Kraken Day, for all the fantastical cephalopods of myth, movies, literature and legend
October 12 – Fossil Day (to coincide with National Fossil Day), for all the incredible suckers that have gone extinct but left an impression with us.
I have written about this week before here and about Octopus Day here, but since then new books have been added to the library, so here are some to look for on each of these days.
