Great studies, you're really starting to get those values pinned down. I agree with LaleAnn on pushing them a bit more, one thing that particularly stands out is the edge transitions. The brushwork does look really energetic and textured (particularly on your imaginative work on the prior pages) but at times it can sort of disrupt soft edge transitions. I think it is more an issue of developing control, and perhaps picking more values/colours so you can work the transitions and subtle light effects in.
A little thing that might make still life studies easier, if it is a viable option for you, is to do them in a room with a north-facing window. There is a more consistent light that way, though I know it isn't an option for everyone.
Also, keep working at watching out for the bounce light in those studies! All in all, great work, keep it up.
