Help With Code Challenge

I need help with the first Blog Reader app code challenge. This is my code:

self.booksArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];

It is giving me the error " Make sure you created an array with the correct variable name, and check your syntax!"

Please help!

There is no property so you cannot use the word self. You have to declare the variable booksArray like you would any local variable.

NSArray *booksArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Hamlet", @"King Lear", @"Othello", @"Macbeth", nil];
