While foreshadowing is used by the author to provide a hint to the reader about something that might happen later in the plot, flashback interrupts the plot by telling an event that happened before the time of the story. Both literary elements provide plot clues without giving away the ending. They help build interest and suspense as the reader speculates how the clue will affect the ending.

This list also identifies which books are in the Elizabeth Library and Griffith Library to make it easier to send students. Here is how that information is displayed on the boxes for the books (link). ​ ​ Right now, the series in the MS Lounge are mainly Mystery, Horror, and Fantasy. What Should We Buy? Often, we have one or more books but not the whole series. I have made this list to help figure out (when it’s that time of year for purchasing novels) which ones we might want to order / find at a bookstore to complete a given series and get the most bang for our buck. What Should We Buy in the Future? We haven’t started to tackle the Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Graphic Novel series in the same way. That would be a good next step for the future. What Do You Need to Know? 1.
