Daily Lines from Diana Gabaldon: To read or not to read

Diana Gabaldon shares her Daily Lines for Outlander Book 9. Are they worth reading or should you avoid them? It depends on whether you like teases and previews.

Daily Lines from Diana Gabaldon have reduced in quantity but that’s because we’re getting closer to seeing Outlander Book 9 hit the shelves. However, they’re still extremely popular for many readers and give an insight into the events that are going to happen. The question for some is whether to read.

I love them. But I admit that I’m not bothered about being spoiled. There are some of the biggest stories in the world that have been spoiled for me and, in all honestly, that never bothered me. I’ve found something else to enjoy and love, looking out for the way something could happen.

But I know there are a lot of people who don’t like spoilers. So, it’s natural to think about skipping the Daily Lines. Plus, there’s the wonder of what you’ll gain from random snippets from the upcoming book. These snippets are completely out of context.

So, whether you read the Daily Lines from Diana Gabaldon or not will depend on what you want to gain. It depends on what you view these snippets as.

For me, they’re previews. If you love sneak peeks from the episodes or you love watching trailers and snippets of upcoming episodes, then you’re going to find some value in the Daily Lines. They don’t include spoilers but teases of what’s to come. Most of the sections involve elements of past stories Diana Gabaldon assumes you already know (so there are spoilers if you’re not caught up yet!) but they don’t give away the upcoming plot.

Those who don’t watch sneak peeks and previews aren’t going to find much value in the Daily Lines. They could be worth skipping and waiting for “Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone” to get everything in context.
