It looks like you are calling ->appends on your variable called $books in several places within your view.

If $books is empty (i.e. null) this might be causing your problems.

I would suggest wrapping your $books in if is set functions as a starting point

if (isset($books) && $books != NULL) {
    $books->appends(['query' => Input::get('query')])->render()
} else {
    // Do something which tells the user that there are no books
}

An even better solution would be to handle all of the logic for the view in your controller and use something like a @forelse loop instead of a @foreach loop. This would make it easier to handle situations where you return an empty collection.

@forelse ($books as $book)
    // Do your for each book markup
@empty
    // Do markup which shows when you have no books
@endforelse
