I changed my code (see below) and there are still problems. Namely, It completely skips over the input for the author and the performer. For example, say I put in B for book then the next output is:
Enter book title: Enter book author:
I can then input data for the author but I can't put in anything for book title. Why is it doing that. My complete code is below. Thank You!
