req.body returns empty object on put request

Im trying to update data by using put request
im using method-override package and multer for file upload
im not able to figure out what is causing the problem because my post route is working fine where objects are getting stored in database from req.body fields and file is getting uploaded

this is my route:

app.put("/browse/:id", function(req, res){
  console.log( req.body); // returns empty object
  console.log( req.file); //undefined
})

this is the form 

<form action="/browse/<%= book._id %>?_method=PUT" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">

        <input value="<%= book.image %>" type="file" name="image" >
        <input value="<%= book.title %>" type="text" name="title" required>
        <textarea name="desc">
          <%= book.description %>
        </textarea>

        <button class="btn btn-success" type="submit"> Update </button>
 </form>

Sorry, i guess just forgot to put the upload.single('image') method in there. That solved it for me.
