Hi Jang Yun Jin. Although I would not say it like this, your meaning is quite clear. There are a number of ways of saying what you mean and it is probably a matter of personal preference which one you would choose. If I were saying this I would say the following

"I thought of you when I found this book"

I hope that helps. Cheers
