C# Basics String Help

I am struggling with one of the tasks on the C# Basics course. I am being asked to "read the user's response and feed it back into the bookTitle variable". Yet nothing in the video tutorial prior to this task suggested any hints on how to do this, and my attempts at using the System.Console.ReadLine as outline in the tutorial are not working. I would appreciate any help on this problem.

CodeChallenge.cs 
string bookTitle = "Jam";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
string entry = Systen.Console.ReadLine('bookTitle');
