Utah has banned 13 books, including Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

I do not know any of the other authors but Sarah J. Maas writes Fantasy.
James Nichol will be delighted that women are being recognised with
twelve of the thirteen books being written by women.

What right does any state have to do that?

 
The same as you, their money, their choices.
 

You mean, "their money, their imposing their choices on everyone else".

That is basically what politics and democracy is all about. A majority
imposing their choices on a minority, for better and for worse.

In a general sense, yes. However, the minority has rights that the
majority cannot infringe by law. There are, IOW, limits. At least, in
the USA there are. YMMV.
