A recent study has found a significant increase in book bans. The total number of bans has reached a new high, with many taking place due to certain themes. These themes include issues of identity and social justice.

The study also found that certain authors are more likely to have their work removed. One author in particular has been targeted for the second year in a row.

Further information on the study's findings is available, including details on the methods used to determine which books are removed and the states where the most bans have occurred.
