Any particular books you can recommend?

I disagree regarding Euclidean geometry. Euclid never does any proofs by induction, which is enough on its own to disqualify Euclid as a good introduction to proof.

What you want is a book that combines an introduction to logic with a bunch of different proofs from different areas of math, such as set axioms, relations, functions, sequences, construction of real numbers, etc. There are many books like this, here is one that includes all of that plus a little number theory and algebra towards the end: http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=7E4D97D2F58B91D052595E68...
