I'm not sure from your statement where exactly you're going astray, but I'll try to help anyway.
After the standard selection from the books table you are going to use the WHERE keyword for the genre column, then the ORDER BY keyword for the first_published column (which would cover the year released part), then the keyword for ascending order to start with the oldest, and limit it to a list of 5 books.
The second task is very similar, with just two changes for the genre column and the limit number.
Hope this helps.

47,877 PointsRight now I'm just learning, have couple of non-related part-time jobs, and co-caregiver for my elderly dad, who is starting to have dementia. Oftentimes I answer these during slower times at work (not able to do much from home right now).

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 24,760 PointsWell, God bless you my friend. Also, my prayers go out to you and your dad. Life is tough and dealing with mental deterioration or mental health challenges make it even more so. I commend you for being there for him. And thank you for taking the time to help me even though there are so many things that I am sure are more important right now.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 24,760 PointsI'm so sorry Rick. I went to sleep(unintentionally) after posting that . I meant to include the code. Thanks so much for your help on these. If you don't mind me asking, is this a hobby for you or are you working in the industry? Your knowledge and help is appreciated.
