Your title should be a string enclosed in quotes.

When you write myFavoriteBook it looks like you're referencing another variable, but it doesn't exist. When they say "the title of your favorite book", they mean put an actual book title between quotes.

Also, when they talk about "Initialize" it's where you declare a variable and assign a value to it at the same time. You can just add to the same line you wrote for task 1.
