Borrow Book

Yesterday I went to the library to borrow some books. Yesterday was Saturday, so I thought the library would be crowded. When I get there, the situation was the same as I thought. I want to use the library catalog system, but there were so many people searching for the books they wanted. I waited for a long time, but my turn never came, so I gave up, decided to found them by myself. Finally, I borrowed three books. One is a science fiction novel, another is a coming-of-age book, the third one is about human healing stories. I'm trying to finish reading these books in April.

Yesterday was Saturday, so I thought the library would be crowded. Yesterday was Saturday, so I thought the library would be crowded.

Because it's a common speech pattern, using "I thought" here sounds like you're leading up to a statement that refutes your assumption. Ie. "I thought the library would be crowded, but when I got there, there was hardly anyone there." Alternatively you could say "I figured the library would be crowded" or "I expected the library to be crowded" which sounds more neutral to me.

I'm going to trying to finish reading these books in Aprilthis month. I'm going to try to finish reading these books this month.

"trying to" sounds like you're in the middle of the process. Since you only just checked out the books, it sounds better to saying "I'm going to try" When referring to the current month, it's better say "this month" than the name of the month
