Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user’s response from the console.

Use the System.Console.ReadLine method to read the user’s response from the console and store it in a variable named bookTitle.

CodeChallenge.cs 
System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: ");

string bookTitle = "dtk" ;
string bookTitle = System.Console.Readline();

The second line is not something asked for by the challenge instructions, and a variable can only be defined one time.

Also, there's a typo where the code has "Readline" instead of "ReadLine" (with a capital "L").

Thank you Steve. I was getting it wrong on that small l instead of L
