Real Estate Development Book Recommendations

Happy almost Friday everyone. I'm in my final semester of undergrad and have fallen in love with development. The dream is to eventually work for a developer for a few years and then go out on my own. Can I get some book recommendations for someone looking to go down this path? I'm currently reading Making It In Real Estate by John McNellis.

Walkable Cities by Jeff Speck. Its about 10 years old at this point, but a really fantastic deep dive into how to think about the development of urban cores.
