pickPhotos and short stories - what‘s not to love about this? Funny and poignant.
I absolutely love reading Humans of New York with everything going on in the world right now!
The illustrations match the quotes perfectly and really draw you in!
Each story has so much emotion!
A few of the stories left me laughing, some crying, and some speechless! 😳🙌🏼
I am just entering hour 7 of the #24B4Monday #readathon ! 🎉🥳

Love these books.... this one is Human Stories so has a story alongside each photo - I also have the original Humans of New York and Felines of New York!

HONY: Stories are people‘s sharing something personal of themselves with photographer Brandon Stanton captured on the streets of NYC.
“I‘m an opera singer.”
“What‘s the highest note you can hit?”
“An F-sharp.”
“What does that sound like?”

pickI love the juxtaposition of the photos with the quotes from the subjects. Like, there‘s a reason I‘ve followed him on social media for years. So of course I loved this book. It‘s a quick read, but considering it‘s all photos and accompanying quotes of varying length, that‘s no surprise. Now I get to figure out yet another book to start.
Decided this would be my next book. Another one of my awesome Goodwill finds!😍📖 #humansofnewyork #goodwillfinds #mixingitup
Maybel approves this book (she was actually stretching and yawning, thus perfect timing)! This one is amazing. It takes guts to do what Brandon Stanton does— just walk up to people and talk to them. You‘ll laugh, smile, cry, think. It makes you want to hit the street and talk to people. You never know where someone has been or where they‘re trying to go. Who knows? It could be the best thing to happen to them, or you!
I love the way the stories are arranged in this photo-journalism book. The arrangement makes the quotes more powerful.

Playing catch-up on this challenge from Instagram! My first book was HONY Stories, and my shortest read (other than graphic novels and novellas) was The Argonauts!
I love the Humans of New York cover... you can only see the title if you turn it just the right way. #bare #uncannyoctober #catsoflitsy
pick5⭐ Loved this book- and I'm going to be in NYC in exactly 3 weeks from now 🎉🙌🏻🎉
T minus 4 weeks until I am in New York City for my short vacay. Starting this ❤️
#lyricalapril #true
I'm a big fan of nonfiction in all its forms. Here are some of a great #true stories I've read so far this year!
Reading the book I got for Christmas today! Thanks to my sister. 😉
A few of the bookish things I got for Christmas. My daughter and I both got each other the Lauren Graham book which was funny. Now we can do a read-a-long! #happybookmas
pickFor today's #SeasonsReadings2016 prompt for #BookWithPictures I chose Humans of New York: Stories. This Facebook photo project is a bright spot on the internet. I have both of these compilations and they are great to flip through or read page by page. The stories always make me think about how much people from all over the world have in common.
pickLove this photographer's work. So many beautiful stories about life. I truly believe he helps spread joy, understanding, and empathy. #artrelatedbooks #seasonsreadings2016
One of the book blogs I read (might have been Book Riot) suggested some post election reading and this was one suggestion. I'm embarrassed to say I've had this for quite a while but haven't done more than flip through it quickly. I'm going to spend some more time with it.
Some reading to get the family excited for our upcoming NYC trip. My son loves seeing all the people who live there. #nycbooks #travel
I've been sneaking into this book on and off for the last several months. There are some great stories in here. 🗽🏙🌃
pickI think I love this book (and the FB posts) for the same reason a love being a therapist: I love hearing people's stories & experiences & perspectives. & the photographs are beautiful & honest & real.
"I [heart] #HONY!! This edition of Brandon Stanton‘s gorgeous photography includes longer stories, giving us a better glimpse into these strangers‘ lives. This book definitely wins as my favorite coffee table book." - @kdwinchester #FunFridayPhoto
pickI adored this book. Brandon Stanton stops strangers in New York and takes pictures and talks to them for twenty minutes and this contains the responses.He chats to the young, old, business people, homeless and punks etc the city is so diverse and it makes you aware that everyone has a story to tell and many with heart breaks or triumphs. If you like to "'People Watch" ( My 10 yr old says it like its an established hobby!?) you will love this!!?X
pickWhat a powerful book of pictures and stories. I really enjoyed this collection. This book was heartbreaking and beautiful.
"When we picked this book for the office we thought of you, Kendra," said my husband's boss. I must have really made an impression at those office Christmas parties. ??
pickI love the blog!! The book is the best parts of the blog. www.http://www.humansofnewyork.com/ (Not sure how to do the link, hopefully it worked.)
What book do you really want that's on the top of your wish list?. This is mine!. Just listening to other people's life stories fascinates me so I know I'm going to love this!😍❤️x
pickThis book.
It's taken me through all the emotions. Even ones I didn't know I had. I'm drained and emotional but inspired and enlightened at the same time. You must read it.
"We're eye doctors"
"What's something about the eye that most people don't realize?"
"The eye doesn't see. The brain sees. The eye just transmits. So what we see isn't only determined by what comes through the eyes. What we see is affected by our memories, our feelings, and by what we've seen before
pickViscerally honest photos & stories. The author has captured a wide range of people in the melting pot that is NY, the stories range from sweet to disheartening and everything in between. It is a gorgeous snapshot of humanity in all stages and crossroads of this crazy thing we call life.
Great pictures, with some wonderful stories or tidbits. The children are adorable though.
Great book for a few minutes between having to deal with the kid
