Thematic Analysis: A practical guide

By Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke

5 stars

This book gives a very detailed explanation of thematic analysis and various ways to approach it. At first, it's quite daunting and thick, but once you grasp the basic concepts, you begin to appreciate the density
Qualitative research in applied linguistics: a practical introduction

By Eds. Juanita Heigham and Robert A. Croker

5 stars

This book had some really detailed information about different types of qualitative research and the different kinds of research under this umbrella
Teacher Learning in Language Teaching

By Eds. Donald Freeman and Jack C. Richards

5 stars

This book was very insightful about teacher cognition. Most of the research was about one-off case studies, but the conclusions researchers came to were backed up by previous and future research in the field.
What is narrative research?

By Corinne Squire, Mark Davis, Cigdem Esin, Molly Andrews, Barbara Harrison, Lars-Christer Hydén and Margareta Hydén

4 stars

This has a good overview of narrative research, but there were times when the authors were rephrasing the works of previous researchers in a confusing manner which required me to read the cited chapter myself
Handbook of Narrative Inquiry: Mapping a Methodology

By Ed. D. Jean Clandinin

4 stars

This book has a good overview of narrative inquiry and analyzes it in various fields and contexts. There are also some literature reviews of narrative inquiry in specific contexts which help paint the picture of narrative inquiry as a whole. At the end of the book, there's an interview with three prominent researchers in this field who disagree on various points about narrative inquiry which makes the field a bit more opaque, but demonstrates the complexities in this field of research
Debates in Second Language Education

By Eds. Ernesto Macaro, Robert Woore

4 stars

I read the chapter titled "Systemic in-service language teacher education". While it didn't exactly have the information I was looking for, it was still a good analysis of various in-service English as a Foreign Language programs worldwide.
Inference and generalizability in applied linguistics: Multiple perspectives

By Eds. Michelle Chalhoub-Deville, Carole A. Chapelle, and Patricia Duff

4 stars

The chapter that I read in this book set out to explain how to make qualitative research be seen as "valid" when compared to quantitative research. It was very informational, but a bit dense and hard to parse at times.
The Witcher: The Lady of the Lake

By Andrzej Sapkowski

4 stars

While I love this universe and fantasy in general, the ending and how the book treated some of its characters didn't fully sit right with me.
Imagining multilingual schools: languages in education and Glocalization

By Eds. Ofelia García, Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, and María E. Torres-Guzmán

5 stars

This book has lots of interesting sections about language acquisition and bilingualism worldwide. It is a bit out of date, but most research still stands the test of time.
The Witcher: The Tower of the Swallow

By Andrzej Sapkowski

5 stars

I love this series, and this book sets up a lot of events as the second-to-last book in the series
