Hi, I'll be reviewing your work. I hope this critique will help you improve.
Superimposed lines are looking good. Fraying on the other end but that's fine. Arcing lines on the longer lines can be worked on by putting in a conscious effort to arc it in the opposite direction.
Ghosted lines are looking good.
Ellipses in planes are looking good. Although some of the ellipses are wobbly and deformed. wobbliness and deformed lines/ellipses are from hesitance to go through with the mark you're about to make, once your pen touches the paper, you should go through with the mark, with full confidence. Even if it misses the intended mark entirely.
Ellipses
Tables of ellipses have ellipses drawn through 3 times, with passes that fall inside of the boundary. Good job
Funnels have ellipses inside the boundary. I see you corrected the funnels with the minor axis' off.
Boxes
You did well on the Plotted perspective exercise.
You did well on the Rough perspective exercise, I can see that you improved on the second page.
Your boxes in the Rotated boxes exercise show you have a great understanding of perspective. the boxes are drawn tightly and confidently. some boxes are off, but otherwise you've done a really good job.
Your pages of Organic perspective are done well. a few diverging lines.
These will go into your warm up pool. Have patience in the 250 boxes challenge.
Next Steps:
250 Boxes challenge.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
