System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string bookTitle = System.Console.Readline();

1 Answer

string bookTitle = "TestBook";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();

You missspelled ReadLine(). Also...you dont need to declare another variable bookTitle. This variable already exist...you just had to change it's value

Some examples about declaration and initialisation:

/****************************************
* some examples about declaration 
****************************************/
string whatever; // declaration
string whatever, whatelse, idontknow //multiple declaration of strings

/****************************************
*some examples about initialisation
****************************************/
whatever = "test"; // initialisation
whatever = whatelse = idontknow = "test" // this is multiple initialisation in one line

/****************************************
* some examples about declaration and initialisation in one line
****************************************/
string whatever = "whatever"; // declaration and initialisation in the same line
string whatever = "test1", whatelse = "test2"; //declaration and initialisation of multiple strings  in the same line
