After the first string, would my code not go on to look like this? string bookTitle = "book"; System.Console.Write("Enter a book title: "); bookTitle = System.Console.ReadLine();

See the section "Immutability of String Objects" in this MSDN article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228362.aspx).
