221 PointsBummer! Did you set or initialize 'bookTitle' to the result from calling 'System.Console.ReadLine()'?
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: "); string entry = System.Console.Write("bookTitle");
Am I correct?
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string entry = System.Console.ReadLine("bookTitle");

28,558 PointsThe task wants you to store the result of the method in a variable called "bookTitle". What you are doing is storing the result of the method in a variable called "entry", and passing it an argument called "bookTitle". The "System.Console.ReadLine" method does not take any arguments so that is also incorrect.
The correct way of doing what the task asks is this:
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
// Name the variable "bookTitle", do not pass any argument to the method
string bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();
