Hi, hope you're doing well :) congrats on completing 250 boxes!
Here are some of my thoughts:
Lines are straight and confident. Excellent use of subtle lineweight too. As a result, your boxes feel very solid.
Convergences on the whole are quite accurate. I've noticed you mainly have trouble with the lines that make up the inner corner, which is totally normal as it's affected by the accumulation of previously done mistakes. You can try this alternative method of drawing boxes which has you drawing the inner corner earlier on and see if it makes a difference: https://imgur.com/a/DHlA3Jh
To further improve the convergence of your lines, you can start thinking about the angles and relationships between ALL the sets of lines converging towards a certain vanishing point, not just one pair. This diagram may help you understand what I'm trying to say: https://i.imgur.com/8PqQLE0.png
Lastly, in your warmups try to draw bigger boxes. This will give you more practise in drawing longer lines with confidence, and it also makes it easier for your brain to engage in spatial reasoning.
You can try the advanced box exercises when you're ready to develop skills further :)

Move on to lesson 2!
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.
