The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling

Margaret lives with a rare autoimmune condition that has destroyed her life, leaving her isolated. It has no cure, but she’s making do as best she can—until she’s offered a fully paid-for spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial. The conditions are simple, if grueling: she will live at the hospital as a full-time patient, subjecting herself to the near-total destruction of her immune system and its subsequent regeneration. The trial will essentially kill most of, but not all of her. But as the treatment progresses and her body begins to fail, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital. Unsure of what's real and what is just medication-induced delusion, Margaret struggles to find a way out as her body and mind succumb further to the darkness lurking throughout Graceview's halls.

Clear Your Shit: Journeys Need Supplies (On shelf the longest)

After wiling away my morning by using up some of my secret emergency reading material, I finally got into town and headed into the closest shop. Unfortunately it was a jeweler's and they were not impressed with my offer to barter away the mushrooms and plants in the bottom of my bag. They did redirect me to the pawnbrokers' shop where I might be away to trade something of a little value for basic supplies. Digging deeper I found a sheaf of papers which could loosely be described as a book. The outermost page had a simple line drawing of a fox slipping through an open window. Mentally preparing myself to part ways with this manuscript, I first stepped away from the jeweler's and wandered towards the pawnbroker, reading as I went. This tale, Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg, was enough to occupy my attention all the way to the shop, then sitting outside the shop for some time. Finally I finished the visceral and erotic tale of a street thief and his lover, and reluctantly sold it in exchange for some curative elixirs and travel rations of cheese and jerky. 

I won't be able to just sell stuff from my bag forever, I'll definitely need help to figure this thing out.
