Imposed Lines/Ghosted Planes: Try to reduce the fraying at the end, practice by doing smaller lines then increase them in increments as a warmup
Also try to not overshoot your lines, your last 2 drawings are great (Imposed lines and Ghosted planes)
Your Ellipses look a bit messy, don't redraw them too often, maybe try to figure out if drawing by the wrist/arm/shoulder (but in general, practice shoulder) is better or change the direction/start point
Maybe try to practice more accurate ghosting (the redlines - perspective exercise - are there to help you to be more accurate)
You need to be able to estimate VP's (not perfectly) in the future and the upcoming 250 box challenge

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.
