Hey book lovers — this week on Read Flags, we’re diving into Strange Pictures by Uketsu.
What starts as a simple analysis of a child’s drawing quickly spirals into something much darker. This isn't just a story—it’s a visual puzzle. With blog posts, diagrams and cryptic sketches, Strange Pictures allows the reader to play junior detective and be immersed in this creepy psychological mystery.
Join Yelena (audiobook addict) and Sam (page-turning purist) as we unpack plot twists, chemistry, and chaos — one flag at a time.
Read Flags is the book review podcast where we raise the green flags, wave the red ones, and occasionally get lost in the footnotes.
Two friends. Two perspectives. One mountain of red (and green) flags.
