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: Reading by the Spring (Free Book or a Break)

By the time the last of the sand fills the bottom half of the hourglass Heather and I have closed our books, satisfied at a job well done and a book completed. The elves haven't finished, but we can see the annoyance on their faces as they start to finish one by one. The leader stands with a huff but thrust out their and. I shake in in a sign of truce and watch them walk away, glad to be rid of them finally. I'm ready to get away from this place and keep traveling toward the witch's tower. I do not want any more surprise guests, Especially the wizard. We head out of the grove and just past the tree line I notice a scroll in the grass. The elves must have dropped it and since they are thankfully nowhere to be seen I unroll it. Finders keepers right? It appears to be a map, but I tuck it away for safekeeping and continue on. After traveling a surprisingly short distance Heather and I both realize how tired we already feel. It looks like there's another small band of tents in another clearing nearby. It appears to be a rest stop for travelers. How convenient. Chris, the proprietor welcomes us with fresh spring water and a comfortable place to relax as well as a small stack of books to read or barter for. I decide to do both and after trading a few interesting baubles I found on the road I settle in to read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Another break sounds nice after the morning we've had.
