I have the wishlist code typed out exactly how he wanted it, but when I go into the console to test it it tells me that I have an unexpected indent on line one. Can anybody tell me why?
books = [ "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python:Practical Programming for Total Beginners-Al Sweigart", "Python for Data Analysis", "Fluent Python:Clear,Concise,and Effective Programming-Luciano Ramalho", "Python for Kids:A Playful Introduction To Programming-Jason R. Briggs", "Hello Web App:Learn how to Build a Web App-Tracy Osborn", ] print("Suggested gift:{}".format(Books[-1])
It's supposed to be spaced out into a list but I can't get it to work. =)

I'd love to help but it's unfortunately really hard to tell without seeing your code. If you're working in a Workspace on Treehouse, please create a snapshot and provide the link here so I can open up a forked version of it. It's the camera icon at the top right.
If not, could you please copy/paste your code here? If you type three backticks before and after your code, it should keep the formatting 👍
