(Day 25 - #BrassInPocket)

*Brass in one‘s pocket is money, and the brass Chrissie Hynde is referring to in the accompanying video is the change a waitperson receives in tips. (Hynde actually worked as a waitperson in Akron before her move to London.) This title prompt made me think of “Sweetbitter,” a tale about a waitperson in New York just trying to find acceptance, love, and maybe even a little “brass in [her] pocket.”

Cinfhen Awesome collage 💕I read this book earlier this year and thought it was very accurate 👌🏽 5y
gradcat @Cinfhen Thanks so much for your very kind words. Yes, it‘s pretty accurate in a number of ways, but it‘s funny—at least I find it funny strange—that the reviews run the gamut...and don‘t get me started on the television adaptation. 😏 5y
Cinfhen I haven‘t seen the series but I likened my reading to the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules 🤪 5y

gradcat @Cinfhen I haven‘t seen “Vanderpump Rules,” but from what know about, I suspect you‘re spot on! 😂 5y

I thought of this brass-titled Nancy Drew mystery I read years ago. I suppose if you found a brass-bound trunk full of jewelry & documents, you would have #BrassinPocket at least maybe from a reward?😉 Also I once made the Brass-Bound Trunk Candy from The Nancy Drew Cookbook for a book tour review. (Link 👇🏻if you want to see it) but you don‘t want it “in pocket“ as it will melt! 😆

DebinHawaii Link to candy recipe but it was fairly early blogging days so excuse the photos! 😉 https://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2010/11/books-treats-reviews-of-four-fun.htm... 5y

Funnily, my first thought for #BrassInPocket was brass knuckles, which led me to think of the tagged book?? It‘s been a day so far...haha!

Horowitz works his magic with Sherlock Holmes in this dark story. I really enjoyed this one. #LilithJuly

KarenUK Me too! Thought he did a great job with these characters 👍💕 5y

The ‘Brass‘ in the song means money, so I thought of this recent B&N bookclub pick.
Once I found my groove with Blake‘s very descriptive writing, I really enjoyed this multi-generational family saga set on a family‘s private island.
On the surface there is elegance and privilege, yet hidden beneath the shallow veneer is an underbelly of secrets, lies and prejudices. It lead to a great discussion! Lots to talk about!

Cinfhen Ohhhh!! Sold! #stacked 🎉 5y

I confess, nothing came to mind from today‘s #LilithJuly prompt, but Google lead me to this “exciting British crime thriller” on Kindle Unlimited. Only gets a 3.67 rating on Goodreads though...
