NameError: name 'BookAdmin' is not defined - Django

I'm using Django and Python 3.6 I had this Error: NameError: name 'BookAdmin' is not defined and

this my code (models.py) in 'store' app.

from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone

class Book(models.Model):
     title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
     author = models.CharField(max_length=200)
     description = models.TextField()   
     publish_date = models.DateField(default=timezone.now)

and in admin.py

from django.contrib import admin

from .models import Book

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'author')

    admin.site.register(Book, BookAdmin)

And the Error is 

    File "C:\venv\lib\site-packages\django\__init__.py", line 27, in setup
    apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
  File "C:\venv\lib\site-packages\django\apps\registry.py", line 115, in populate

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'author')

admin.site.register(Book, BookAdmin)

Register your admin outside of your class definition. Not inside it!

Or do this:

@admin.register(Book)
class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('title', 'author')
