On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything is the new book from Nate Silver, author of The Signal and the Noise. The book has two raves and two mixed on BookMarks. From Kirkus, one of the raves: "A thought-provoking examination of how society has become increasingly divided between the risk-tolerant and the risk-averse...Silver provides a clever look into a unique realm. An enlightening study of the people who play the game of risk and win."

10. Wild Girls, by Tiya Miles
Seven reviews for A Life of One's Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again, according to BookMarks. One of the raves was from Lauren Michele Jackson in The New Yorker: "Biggs hails her guides in mononyms, like intimates or pop stars: Mary, George, Zora, Virginia, Simone, Sylvia, Toni, Elena. Within their differences (of eras, means, race), each charged herself with writing while woman, thus renegotiating their relationship to marriage and child rearing, endeavors long considered definitive of womanhood."

10. The Yellow Bus by Loren Long
The fall books are creeping into the store, notably the ones that use old-fashioned pub dates instead of on-sale dates and don't have street-smart markers. One of them is A Natural History of Dragons from Emily Hawkins, with illustrations by Jessica Roux. Last year's A Natural History of Magical Beasts was a hit for us. The series also includes Fairies and Mermaids. From The Bookseller, which is like the Publishers Weekly of Great Britain: "Presented as a handbook from the late 1800s written for the students of the Academie Solomanar: the only school for dragon-riders."
