Book excerpt: Bob Hope is one of the greatest figures in the history of American show business. His legendary career has spanned the entire twentieth century, from impersonating Charlie Chaplin in front of the firehouse in Cleveland in 1909 to celebrating an unprecedented sixty years with NBC in 1996. He has entertained millions worldwide with his performances in vaudeville and on Broadway, on his top-rated weekly radio show, in beloved movies such as his "Road Pictures" with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, and, most notably, in the countless television appearances that made him a superstar and a welcome guest in every living room in the country. Bob celebrates his 100th birthday this year, and to mark the occasion, he shares this extraordinary recollection in the form of his best jokes and comic anecdotes, organized by the stages of his life. Each of the ten chapters corresponds to a decade in Bob's phenomenal career (and features remarkable photos of him at that age). The end result is a compelling, and hilarious, portrait of the twentieth century's greatest entertainer -- and, ultimately, of the twentieth century itself. Bob Hope is best known as a comedian, and over the course of a lifetime, he has amassed -- in his personal "Joke File" -- thousands of jokes, on such subjects as golf (a lifelong passion for Bob), politicians, the military, movie stars, and much more. Now, with the publication of My Life in Jokes, readers have the opportunity to enjoy the very best of his humor and, in the process, learn about the amazing life and career of a true national treasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of If I Were You comes a nostalgic and endearing holiday story that reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones we least expect and dont deserve. Best friends Audrey Barrett and Eve Dawson are looking forward to celebrating Christmas in postwar America, thrilled at the prospect of starting new traditions with their five-year-old sons. But when the 1951 Sears Christmas Wish Book arrives and the boys start obsessing over every toy in it, Audrey and Eve realize they must first teach them the true significance of the holiday. They begin by helping Bobby and Harry plan gifts of encouragement and service for those in their community, starting by walking an elderly neighbors yellow Labsince a dog topped the boys wish list for Santa. In the charming tale that follows, Audrey and Eve are surprised to find their own hearts healing from the tragedies of war and opening to the possibility of forgiveness and new love.
