Vade and the sheep!  That's the hardest I've laughed in a while.  Thanks, MHT.   

Anosukinom: Why couldn’t Remin and Orinakin be more like Desin?  On the list of impossible miracles, a green tiger was a lot easier to pull off than the eradication of poverty.

Hmmm . . .

I love Rini!   

I can't wait for the wedding and the orgy.   

   I love Remin's way of deciding that Tano must be his husband.   

I want the realization to occur NOW!!!    I'm getting impatient for Tano and Remin to acknowledge their love.

"Although number eleven had been a good one."    I want to know what 11 is!!!   

   Is Tano going to get to massage Remin next week?     I don't want to wait!   

And the chain of great last lines continues!  "I've wasted Xio Voe's time."     I love it.

I'm hoping that MUCH more happens next week.   

Now I'm getting impatient to see Remin and Tano get together.     I want Remin's "torture" to stop.

And I loved the tunnel.   

I loved this chapter.     I laughed so many times.  Kudorin and the rook.  Bade and the shoes and Anosanim.  Talin and Bade.  Bade and feet.  Rini, always.    Then there's Tano and Remin.    I kinda feel just like Anosukinom - get on with it already!!!

Okay, there need to be defense lessons in Tano's future!   

   "Never underestimate Anosanim."  I love the way that MHT closes the chapters.

And Rini and Bade!      

   I so love Rini!  He wanted the kiss.   

And the sight of Xio Voe and everyone's reaction.   

 

   That was just WOW!!!  The pantry!  I'll never look at one the same way now.

And I can't wait for next week and Xio Voe's reaction.   

Yeah, the flick was perfect!     "His kiss"!  I loved that chapter's ending.

Remin hadn’t wanted to leave his office.  His office was where Very Good Things came to him.  His office was where his happiness thrived.  His happiness was where everything seemed so right with the world.

            But then he’d realized, somewhat fuzzily, that sometimes Very Good Things came while he was away.  So if left his office, and then went back in, Very Good Things might have arrived in his absence.

  I love this.

Oh, and Remin's thoughts about Bade,    I liked!

Caramel?     I want some!  And I love Anosanim's descriptions of his brothers.   

Dates!!!!  Remin going on DATES!!!!     This is going to be interesting.   

Also, I want to know what the dessert is.    Maybe chocolate cake?   

You have you finger poised over the refresh button too berryblu???

Oh, yeah!       Starting about now.

[to]

I can't wait for 224.     I love the end of this chapter (223) and the way that Xio Voe talks about Remin and Tano to Remin and Remin has no idea who is actually involved.     I also loved that one god (probably Ilanosa) was "upset" that another one called the situation "distracting"!  Kind of an insult to Ilanosa, though.

Oh, wow!     They have met.     I love the way that Remin now feels more relaxed around other men, but I think that there're going to be some interesting situations.   

Somehow I think Remin's going to be angry though.   

   Oh that ending is sooooo not fair!!!     I can't wait until next Friday night.   

My finger is going to be busy using F5 tonight!   

Is that the one that cooked the meal they all liked? Cause I was thinking the same thing

Yep.  That's the one.  The other chefs were acting like he didn't know what he was doing and then one tried to take credit for his information and work.

Arggggh!  Is the chef Naritano going to be Remin's love?   

   Okay, now I vote for the gold book to be next.  I want Remin to meet his love sooooon!

This is great!     Kudorin bows out of the game first!   

   Oh, I love the game!  Can't wait to see it play out!   

   I neeeeed 216!!!

   The first ceremony is done!!!   

I love the way that XV is starting to recognize Rini's worth.   

Woo Hoo!!!!     The wedding is here!   

I just have to say that I love Rini!   

I have a feeling that Vade is going to deck the Sultan, or try to do so anyway.     I just wonder if Kudorin will freeze things to stop it or whatever.   

It is now early Saturday morning, but I couldn't wait!     Chapter 191 is up and it's wonderful - as usual.   

  While this chapter didn't have a great deal of excitement, I really enjoyed it.  I loved those Vade conversations and the one at the end between Xio Voe and Anosukinom.  If the orgy is included in the next chapter, I'll be interested to see Talin's actions and thoughts, and maybe his brothers' reactions to him.

   Preparing to exercise my finger and hit F5!   

   I love that Remin quote banner.   

    It's Friday again!     I'm preparing to refresh.   



   Not yet . . . 

   It's not here yet.   

I loved that sentence, Silvermoon28!   

One thing I want to know is how much time passed by in this chapter.  It seems to have been quite a bit.     All that travel and visitation had to take many weeks, maybe months?

Chapter 180 is up now.      I don't know how long it has been there, though.

   Yay!  *slipping behind a screen to change clothes*

My, my!  *twirls around*  I like it.  Thanks, SilverMoon28.   

Remembering what's been said about the trips around the country while the current generation were children, I'd guess that Anikira won't in any way be just a baby factory.  Her job is just as important as any of the others to Orina Anoris.   It seems that she will be working full time.    She can't wait to start either.  I loved the scene where she began to review her plans and lists and maps.

I like this one! 



May I use it, please?

   Yeah, I was trying to figure out just how much time had passed in the latest chapter.  At least a couple of months?  Hmmm . . . now where was that calendar that someone wonderful posted a bit ago.   




Edit: I found the post.  Thanks, Mountie!    And it seems to have been 3-1/2 months, maybe?  From Tildobuna to halfway through Tildosalin.  It's not quite been a year in the series yet.   

  I'm hoping that the empire's drive to dominate the world will change to economic and scientific domination and not military rule of the world.

   It's up!   

         I so wanted to read it before I signed off for the night, or morning.   

   So many hours until I should start refreshing!   

  Not to mention that the gods are going to keep Anikira's health at optimum.  I mean that there wouldn't be the normal wear on a woman's body from those children.   

  I don't see the whole world changing so rapidly within the next 30+ years, though, or even after the next generation.  I mean that the different nations will still be there.  The gods aren't just going to glom together into one set or so.   I see the nations working together more, but I don't see the world coming under one rule.  Orina Anoris works so very well with the divisions set up as they are that I think it will stay that way for quite some time to come.  Most of the world rejoices in their individuality.  I do hope that the Jacaceans begin to see their ways as stealing the individuality from others and that stealing as wrong.  There shouldn't be only "one true way" on that whole world as Jacacea wants it to be.  I do have serious trouble with Jacacea and their laws viewing the stealing of whole nations as acceptable when they have such a developed justice system that views theft as wrong.  After all it is the same thing, just degree differences.

Does "Landers" refer to us, the fans of ITL?     If so, I like it.   

It's Friday.    Waiting for the chapter already.     But not refreshing yet.

   I thought it was Desin to Vade (or maybe Bade) about the "Bride's Lament" orgy.

  Yes, I noticed that "Part 1" on the published Purple Book and I assume that there will be more parts to it.  (hint, hint!)  However, I've been re-reading and had just passed those chapters, 65 and 76.  It just seemed to me that there was a bit of a natural break when Bade and Orinakin left for their trip.  At that point, (77/78) the foreshadowing of Xio Voe begins, i.e. the dreams and such.

Hello all.    I've been wondering just what parts make up the Purple Book and where the Rainbow Book begins.  Does the Purple Book end with the Orinakin/Bade wedding (65) or does it end when Orinakin and Bade leave Orina Anoris on their first ambassadorial trip (76)?

I think the ones about stretch marks are particularly funny on this board!     The subject just doesn't quite fit.

This is wonderful and perfectly Rini and Selorin.    Thanks!

Greetings to everyone from a new member!  I just got sucked into ITL from the BDB forums.     I love what I've read so far and can't wait to get my access to the rest of the chapters!     By the way, I just cannot decide on a brother to promote in a sig.     I love them all.
