In one's good books
He is not in her *books*
Could anyone tell me what that means?
Thanks
Maybe: not in her good books? Not in favor with her.
Merriam-Webster online: in one's good books : in favor with one
It is also used as in one's black books which, quite obviously, means the opposite of what ESC has suggested.
