For those who can't read fanfic all of the time (hard as that is to imagine:), slyprentice , slytherin_gypsy , and myself have banded together to create a comm for real world recs -- books, television, and movies.  I'm sure there are similar comms out there, but I figure that folks who share our taste in fanfic will likely also share our taste in canons (and vice versa, when it comes to reader's recs week). 

The comm, appropriately enough, is called real_world_recs and this week we're posting book recs.  I've just put up my rec for the fabulous Sunshine by Robin McKinley and more recs will be coming every weekday.  Enjoy!
