How do I return the bookTitle variable?

I can't figure it out. I have been looking everywhere but no luck. Any ideas?

string bookTitle = "BFG"; System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");

CodeChallenge.cs 
string bookTitle = "BFG";
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");

Hi there! It's only the very last step that seems to be causing you a problem The challenge wants us to read in the user's answer and reassign it to the bookTitle variable so that it overwrites our own favorite book. Take a look at the line you're missing:

bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();

This will read in the input from the user at the console and assign it back into the bookTitle variable. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
