Ninety-two days, 36 bookstores and way too much money spent. On Sept. 27, Cheyenne and I completed the Iowa Indie Bookshop Tour, just three days before it ended. What started out as a joyous sprint felt more like a marathon toward the end, largely due to us both having insanely busy Augusts with very little time for bookstores.
