Book Riot | 08.07.2026 19:44
The state of Utah has been on a book banning blitz in 2026. Late Monday, July 8, the state added its 36th book to the list of books that must be removed from every public school in the state: Different Seasons by Stephen King. The ban comes amidst a lawsuit challenging these state-sanctioned bans filed in February, and it comes after banning 16 other books in 2026 alone.
