Friday Face Off: 7-3-2025: Strange Pictures by Uketsu
Whoo! Happy happy Friday all~
I hope everyone is ready for the weekend, I know I am! Welcome to a new Friday’s Face Off!
And we are keeping it spooky. Haha. I just love spooky books, currently reading Girls Who Burn. Today I picked a book I so so loved and I cannot wait for the next book by this author. Hello to Strange Pictures by Uketsu! This was a really interesting and twisty read and I enjoyed it! It also has several covers, some that fit a theme and some that are just wildly different. It was fun to see which one to pick for today’s post. Let’s get to it, and be sure to check out the book.
What is Friday Face Off? It’s a memepost created by Books by Proxy and now hosted on Books and Travelling by Lynn! It used to be that she would post a list of a topic and you would find covers, but these days you are free to pick a cover of your own that has a lot of editions and feature them on your blog~






Let’s see, up first is the Thai cover, which looks like the English cover, but I like that the drawings presented are more loose and I like the little details. Following that one on 2nd place, I will be going for the 2nd English cover (2nd on the row) with the blood and the fish. The Chinese cover (with the guy coming out) terrifies me. 😱😱😱

I like the first cover on the second row the best! I looked at the Goodreads page, read the description, and immediately I knew that I would be scared if I read this 😂

That one is my fav as well! Haha, yeah, it is a pretty unsettling read, especially as you find out more and more what is going on.
Oh, I am going to check out your post, so happy that more people are doing this one!
Ohh I do love the second one with the sashimis more!
That one is fun! I love that they have two English covers, you can pick which one you like the most~
