Django form not sending data to admin-CodePudding

I have a form users can fill out to reserve a table at a restaurant. However when they submit the form no data gets sent to the admin side.

I have watched some tutorials and read other posts on this site and nothing seems to fix it. I feel like it is something so small but I just cant figure it out.

from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404
from django.views import generic, View
from .models import Book
from .forms import BookForm
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def Book(request):
    """
    Renders the book page
    """
    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        form = BookForm(request.POST or None)
        context = {
            "form": form,
        }
    else:
        return HttpResponseRedirect("accounts/login")

    book_form = BookForm(data=request.POST)

    if book_form.is_valid():
        instance = book_form.save(commit=False)
        instance.save()
    else:
        book_form = BookForm()
    return render(
        request,
        "book.html",
        {
            "book_form": BookForm(),
        }
    )

Try this view:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

from django.shortcuts import redirect,render

@login_required(login_url="accounts/login")
def Book(request):

    if request.method=="POST":
        book_form = BookForm(request.POST)

        if book_form.is_valid():
            book_form.save()
            return redirect("some_success_page")

        else:       
            return redirect("some_error_page")
    else:
        book_form = BookForm()
    return render(
        request,
        "book.html",
        {
            "book_form": book_form,
        }
    )

In settings.py
