Treehouse TeacherI think the main problem here is that at some point you went back and changed what you'd already written. It should start with a bookTitle variable set to the title of a book. Then we write to the console a prompt for the user to enter their favorite book. But now you're literally writing to the console "bookTitle". On the last step we simply read in the user's favorite book and assign it as the new value to overwrite our favorite book. Here's how the code should look for the last step.
string bookTitle = "My favorite book";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
bookTitle = Console.ReadLine();

//existing code from previous challenges
string bookTitle = "book title";
//On a new line, use the System.Console.Write() method to print it's contents - "Enter a book title:"
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
//I think Jennifer covered the next step as well..

Treehouse TeacherI did because I assumed that since the ReadLine was in the OP that they'd made it to that step :) But I could be wrong!
