Reading List: Did I Say That Out Loud?
I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
I will have to say that I have never read such a funny laugh out loud book in my life. This book was an easy read with short chapters which made the reading flow easier. I absolutely loved this book. I found myself thinking as I was reading, this woman sounds a lot like me. Sometimes I write things I shouldn’t just to get them out in the open and then I get a little embarrassed about writing it. Or I look back and start laughing about what I have written. I will have to say this book had me thoroughly entertained. I love the story about when her granddaughter was playing with her grandpa’s golf balls before going to the store. Kelly said that they had to go to the store but when they got back she could play with them again. Upon leaving the store, her little granddaughter shouts, “yea I can go home and play with Grandpa’s balls.” LOL Yes folks it is little gems like that will leave you rolling on the floor. Kelly is also the mom of boys, something I know nothing about but those little gems that she put in there about her sons were hilarious as well. So if you are looking for a great book that will leave you in a uplifted mood than this is the book for you. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a laugh. I mean there is not one chapter in this book that someone could not relate to in someway or another. Continue reading this post for information about where you can find this gem of a book.

We’ve all had it – the “uh-oh” of wishing we could take back the comment that somehow escaped the filter between our brains and our mouths. Did I Say That Out Loud? is the tell-all account of the author’s misadventures in the daily experience that is life. Told in the tone of a coffee-klatch gathering with your best girlfriends – you know, the ones you can share anything and everything with – the author holds nothing back as she recounts the trials and tribulations of life as Kelly Harman.
Thinking of braving Botox or plastic surgery? Get the real scoop from Kelly, including pre-procedure husband prep. Need help when your cat catches on fire? Ask Kelly how to extinguish the flames without spilling your wine. Survival tips for when a 300 pound man falls on you? Ask Kelly, who lived to tell the tale.
Kelly captures those “you can’t make this stuff up” dramas and takes them one step further. She shows us that by reveling in the inevitable mess of the moments we wish we could take back, we may discover that sharing our stories is in fact healing, unifying, and often outrageously funny.
Bad for the laugh lines but good for the abs, some of these stories will hit close to home, others will stray far, far from your average woman on the street. But all are unified by the inimitable candor and hilarity that her friends agree is uniquely Kelly.
Read ’em and weep.

About the Author
Kelly McDermott Harman was born in Asmara, Ethiopia in 1962 and has walked the road less traveled ever since. Her childhood was spent overseas, living in eight different countries before she came to the U.S. at the age of 16. This experience inspired an adventurous streak and disregard for convention which has yielded a rich life, overflowing with great story material.
Her experiences range from celebrating her ninth birthday at India’s Taj Mahal to being evacuated with her family in the midst of a civil war in East Pakistan, single motherhood to serial entrepreneur, and Burning Man devotee to self-made marketing maven. Most recently Kelly came full circle back to the continent of her birthplace, celebrating her 50th birthday at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Kelly lives in Manassas, Virginia with Bob, her husband and true love of 23 years and has three sons. When she isn’t writing about her adventures, Kelly loves spending time with her friends and family, but especially with her three grandchildren, teaching them the value of reckless honesty and unhindered fun.
Kelly is currently working on her next book, a memoir about growing up abroad as the daughter of a (former) CIA agent.
