enum.swift 
enum BookType {
    // Write your members with associated values here

So you are very close Kris.

All you have to do is pull your variable out of your enum. You are creating a new variable and assigning it the value that you get from the enum BookType.

so it should be something like this:

enum BookType { case Pdf(String) case Epub(String) }

var book = BookType.Pdf("Game of Thrones")
