Read the "Introductory Graph Theory" by G. Chartrand. It's pretty accessible, the theorems' proofs are well written and it has lots of interesting problems to do on your own (with some hints/solutions at the end). I found it great for self-study, especially for someone without any experience with proofs, like me. Enjoy !
Many thanks for the suggestions!
For the interested, I bought this book for GT:

I also was tempted by the following book:

I think buying a book feels better than sex. (I can compare.)

Welcome to graph theory!
I like reading math books for fun, especially cheap Dover books. Excursions in Number Theory by Ogilvy & Anderson (lots of cool little stuff). Introductory Graph Theory by Chartrand (a lot of real-world programming boils down to graph theory). An Introduction to Algebraic Structures by Landin (abstract algebra). In Code: A Mathematical Journey by Flannery (modular arithmetic, factoring, and cryptography). In Code or Excursions would probably help with Project Euler 3 and several others.
I think you might like this.
