Read it. 764,987 ratings — great post and list! XD I'm on withdrawal. 5. (It’s by Hans Zimmer who is incredible.). AHEM. OMG THAT IS A GOOD CONVERSATION STARTER. I’m sorry to say I haven’t read the rest of these, but more books to add to my Need-To-Read list. They are soooo good and I WISH there were more YA crimey/hesity books like those movies. I love con/heist books!!! I’ve read Heist Society. OMG HOW DID I FORGET THE PRESTIGE?!! […] Cait’s post about 10 Books Your Inner Con-Artist Wants You To Read? I was so pleased that he wasn't the stupid cop after all. published 2012, avg rating 4.58 — YOU ARE BRAVE. published 2006, avg rating 3.65 — I’m bummed to hear you’re not loving The Sin Eater’s Daughter! I’m suddenly a huge fan! I knoooow, how bad am I ?!! You should try The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen!!!!! He's adorable. YES!!! It’s not just about cons and stealing, it’s about the psychology of evil. Boo. I haven’t seen the third one yet o.0, DUDE, YES. published 2014, avg rating 3.91 — Great suggestions! 82,447 ratings — Hopefully I'll review it this week. Although if you do ever read non-YA books, there is a mystery series written by Lisa Lutz called THE SPELLMAN FILES (or rather that’s the first book) – quirky family of private detectives. Need to read that too. published 2015, avg rating 4.23 — I hope not…. Goodness, I’ve hardly read any. I need it. Yup. Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13 // movie trilogy. Your email address will not be published. And I’d like to read the Heist Society books at some juncture too. Scams, confidence tricksters, it’s got a bit of everything. Anyway. published 2006, avg rating 4.21 — It’s perfection with cons disguised as magic until, um, the end where it goes bizzare and unrealistic. I knoooow, I need to get onto Artemis Fowl ASAP. WE HAVE A SLIGHTLY EVIL AND DUBIOUS DARK SIDE. I love Ally Carter’s books. They were so so smart. Also, have you watched The Usual Suspects? I especially love Catch Me If You Can and Now You See Me. You haven’t read Artemis Fowl? (Yes, I was pleasantly shocked that it was an actual game used as a freakin’ conversation starter!). I srsly adore that film! And Leverage! I loved this book! Anyways. XD, Heist Society!!! (Don’t grow up. I accept both of these completely. published 2017, avg rating 3.64 — 23,928 ratings — OH, YES. Also Leverage, which I’d never even heard of before now…, I did that too with Artemis Fowl! published 2014, avg rating 3.66 — I haven’t seen the original (do not glare at me, it isn’t nice) but this is fantastic. But I’m glad it’s a genre you enjoy Cait! I LOVE THEM ALL. Wondering if I should read the other two now …. I may have slightly yelled a bit at Amanda. Totally agree about the Now You See Me movie, loved it until the ending. I’ve seen the movies though. WHAT IS THIS HOW TO LIVE A LIFE OF CRIME AND WHY HAVEN’T I READ IT YET?? I also enjoyed all the other things on your list with the exception of As Red as Blood which is going on my wishlist immediately because you obviously have good tastes with other con artist type things. I also need to get on the Heist Society bandwagon sometime soon… I’ve been thinking of the “con” books I’ve read and I’m being honest when I say I can’t remember any. I’ve read THE NATURALS and liked it very much. I love Holly Black! If I muster up some friends, marshmallows and bright sunshine, I might watch the movies- they sound interesting- otherwise, probably not. I know I say that a lot, but this is different! There’s also this book that’s being released in May: Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18584521-hold-me-like-a-breath?from_search=true), it’s about crime families and rivalries and it’s a retelling – IT SOUNDS AMAZING. Oh and I've been recommend White Collar a LOT so I want to get onto that too!! It makes it completely plausible just to read/watch them all right now. 490 ratings — published 2020, avg rating 4.20 — Right this very minute! Old School = Ten Speed & Brownshoe, The Hot Rock, Dancing Aztecs, The Spy in the Ointment (and almost anything by Donald E Westlake). I love movies that keep your brain moving and it’s more like reading a book: you figure things out as you go along. 2,585 ratings — They steal a lot of gold. I definitely didn’t like Now You See Me. Only yesterday I was telling my sis I need to write an India character boy someday. On him, it was so roguishly charming that Kat's heart actually skipped a beat.”, “The Donald is not a master of the deal; he is a reckless, foolhardy craps dealer playing with house money. I could be if I wanted to though. I felt there was too much blah about Brad Pitt’s love life and not enough heist. To conclude: I NEED TO READ ALL OF THESE BOOKS. Thank you for making me spend all day looking up heisty books and movies. don’t have an inner con artist, so therefore I haven’t read any of these books. I don't know what I would think about them now, but I adored them when I was much younger. I must now read Heist Society. I mean, dat ending. *flails*. hehe. I mean Mark Ruffalo. I’ve already added White Cat to my TBR on Goodreads and I now also want to see ALL THE FILMS. It has a great diverse cast, it has cons and also it’s YA ^^. published 2006, avg rating 4.05 — Here’s my TTT: Good Books for Old Broads (Like Me)! WHAT IS MY PROBLEM?!? Although I am cheating on this list. and i will watch Hustle, I will!! The characters are, at times, creepily smart. It looked so beautiful! It’s still incredible though and features an unwilling detective and a subtle dose of fairy tale retellings (you can figure out which) and occasionally people get murdered, which is all fantastic. And also read the rest of the Heist Socity trilogy. I think I read like the first chapter?? They’re all geniuses and act like a big dysfunctional family. I’m readin Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress right now, anti t is weird. 2,022 ratings — published 2011, avg rating 3.84 — In Ocean’s 12 (movie #2) heads off to Amsterdam so they can steal stuff. So sassy. That is going on my TBR asap. *happy flailing* ^_^ THANK YOU. It says something about both of us. XDMY SUSPICIONS ABOUT DI CAPRIO MUST BE CORRECT THING. Oh, and if you like con artists and stuff, you must read illusive by Emily Lloyd-Jones. I don’t want to say any more about it, because it’s really best if you go into the book knowing nothing at all to get the full impact, but you can thank me later (see how confident I am? Yep. I haven’t read any of these books – in fact, I don’t think I have read any con artist books. >_< Why has it taken me so long?!! Catch Me If You Can is one of my favourite movies although I’m a bit biased because I LOVE Tom Hanks, hehe. ), (Also, by the way, H.I.V.E. The Thomas crown Affair, the story of a multi millionaire who steals as a hobby. Bad me for getting diverted from a book by the cover! :'), Such good books! It sounds pretty fantastic, and it’s quite short too! I was expecting more sin eating, I guess?? . And there’s this awesome British TV show called Hustle, and it’s about con artists–it’s more of a humorous show. 1,237 ratings — hehe. Also, because it has Mark Ruffalo in it. THANK YOU! , Inception and Catch Me If You Can were awesome movies, I have to agree! xD). And I’m planning on getting White Cat soon! Catch Me If You Can is my favorite movie, and fun fact, it’s based on a true story. published 2015, avg rating 4.40 — i LOVED the curse workers! Have you read Lies I Have Told by Michelle Zink? published 2013, avg rating 3.94 — I LOVED THEM SO MUCH. If you’ve seen any con movie, then you’ve covered the basic plot of this book. Now I’m going to have to read the Curse Worker trilogy *___* thank you for this article, super great!! heeh. Definitely recommend. *sigh* I shall get onto that ASAP. Sh.). I ordered Heist Society from the library at the weekend! But they are superb, in my meager opinion. I read Heist Society and found it kind of bland. Lol, I love your topic for this week’s TTT post! Awesome list! published 2013, avg rating 4.44 — I laughed a lot. published 2001, avg rating 3.73 — NOW YOU SEE ME!!! There are SO not enough con books out there! Sometimes they punch people and everyone is rather sassy. Money Heist, Netflix original about people who rob the Spanish mint published 2015, avg rating 3.57 — They were nearly TOO smart for being like, um, 15, right?? 2,600 ratings — xD. Con artists are often in the news these days, but this week special attention went to a fascinating story, written by Jessica Pressler for The Cut, about Anna “Delvey,” a young grifter who allegedly swindled her way through the Manhattan elite by pretending to be a wealthy heiress from Germany.
