Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're putting in code that the challenge hasn't asked for, including the definition of a Class and a Main method. These are not required by the challenge nor asked for. Also, you've included two Console methods that aren't specified by the challenge instructions. The entirety of the code needed for the first step of the challenge is in there if you erase all the things not specified by the instructions.
Keep in mind that it's always best to not do anything a challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. Even if functional outside the challenge, it can cause the challenge to fail. These challenges are extremely strict and testing for very specific things.
Here's what it was looking for:
string bookTitle;
Good luck!
