My problem is when after I input an int in 'choice', when I want to enter a string with space in bTitle say "Purpose Driven Life", the input skips and goes on the next input instead.
When I use input.next(); there's no problem. Only when I tried to use nextLine(), is there anyway to resolve this? I'll want the input to be able to assign a string with space
