Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Today's topic is: Top Ten Words/Topics That Instantly Make Me Buy/Pick Up A Book
Here are my trigger words and topics:
1) Murder always works because at the beginning of my reading career, there was Agatha Christie.
2) Teenage spies are also always a good choice because they're usually really, really exciting!
3) Mystery - who doesn't love a good mystery? And just like with murder, I'm a sucker!
4) Romance is also great, if it is done well!
5) Mental disorders!
6) Magic (like the Harry's - Potter and Dresden, I mean)
7) Steampunk because there is just not enough out there and I absolutely love the feel!
8) Nerds because I am one and they usually provide better (maybe more relateable?) stories than jocks.
That's it for me. What about you? What are your insta-buy words or topics?

I'm really digging teenage spies after reading Also Known As (highly recommend). I know there are a few good spy books coming out too (but right not I can only think of Maid of Secrets). I didn't think of nerds but I should have - the brainy characters always appeal to me! I also definitely go for magic, mystery and murder. Really great list!!
