You are trying to put a value in a variable, which doesn't exist. The WriteLine function is void, meaning that it does not have a return value.

ReadLine on the other hand, has a return value. It returns the text that the user wrote, and it returns it as a string.

The other problem is that there is no "print" type in C#. Maybe you are coming from another language, and mixing up types and commands. :)

The solution is to call the WriteLine, and pass in the text to write to the console as a parameter.

Console.WriteLine("This text will be written to the console");

So the instructions say, "Use the System.Console.Write() method to print "Enter a book title: " to the console.".

Here's a few hints:

you won't use the word "print"
you won't need your name
nothing is being assigned, so you also don't need the "=" symbol
instead of "system.Console.writeLine()" they ask you to use "System.Console.Write()"
the message needs to go between the parentheses
the message should be "Enter a book title: "
