Use the System.Console.Write() method to print "Enter a book title: " to the console. First off, on small things like this, I usually write out the beginning statement and then fill it in. So I would write:
System.Console.Write();
It then asks you to enter the phrase. You must enter it exactly as it is (this includes the space after the semi-colon), in order to pass the challenge. So upon filling in the phrase, you end with the following (also don't forget your closing semi-colon after the statement):
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");
