OCTOBER 4TH ISNATIONAL BOOK SHOP & TACODAY • 8 • The Pinecone | October 2025 National Bookshop Day will take place on October 4 this year. October is a good time for new books to come out in the run- up to Christmas. For Bookshop Day and the start of the important fall selling season, bookshop owners are encouraged to hold parties, events, and book signings in their stores. Every year, more than a thousand bookshops across the country participate in Bookshop Day. They hold special events, make unique window displays, and so on. It’s part of the Books Are My Bag campaign, which is run by the Booksellers Association. National Taco Day , October 4 every year, is considered a concentrated and intensified version of the “Taco Tuesdays” many restaurants offer in a bid to bring in Happy Hour-like crowds. Come to think of it, to further whet your appetite for the subject, get this: the phrase “Taco Tuesday” was actually trademarked across the country in 1989 by a Wyoming-based fast-food chain called Taco John’s, except in New Jersey, where the trademark had already been claimed by Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar back in ‘82. However, nobody needs to worry about the legality of what their dinner is called. On National Taco Day, we only need to grab some tortillas and stuff them with savory fillings, from the traditional carne asada, cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream, to more exotic gustatory delights like fish, chorizo, even tongue, to name only a few of the “meat component” alternatives. Even the word “stuff” is no accident; many believe that the word taco derives from the Spanish “ataco,” meaning “to stuff.” YOU'RE INVITED TOTHE BATTLEOF THEWINGS!
