the ruling, https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/23/23-50224-CV0.pdf, doesn't list all the initially banned books, but has this:

Loosely grouped, those books are:

• Seven “butt and fart” books, with titles like I Broke My Butt! and Larry
the Farting Leprechaun;

• Four young adult books touching on sexuality and homosexuality,
such as Gabi, a Girl in Pieces;

• Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen and Freakboy, both
centering on gender identity and dysphoria;

• Caste and They Called Themselves the K.K.K., two books about the
history of racism in the United States;

• Well-known picture book, In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak,
which contains cartoon drawings of a naked child; and

• It’s Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex and Sexual Health.

The books to be returned are:

a. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson;
b. Called Themselves the K.K.K: The Birth of an American Terrorist
Group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti;
c. Spinning by Tillie Walden;
d. Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen by Jazz Jennings;
e. Shine by Lauren Myracle;
f. Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle;
g. Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero; and
h. Freakboy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark.
