Hi Jane,

I think you need to use quotes "" for the condition of the column name genre like this.

SELECT * FROM books WHERE genre LIKE "Fantasy" ORDER BY first_published LIMIT 5 ASC

Thanks for responding, Madushan! I figured out what the code was lacking. I will also try your suggestion to see if this might be an alternative solution. Thanks again!
