Mine.

I've only read one book published in 2014, which was The Book Of Strange New Things

It was surprisingly good! quasi-SF about a Christian couple falling apart. Starts of with practically Flanders as the main character, then things fall apart more and more, in the end it's all just hypocrisy, misunderstandings and the impossibility of communication... I'd recommend it.

No, I didn't mean it that way. I bet some good books were released in 2014, it's just that most of /lit/ don't give a shit because muh classics.

The only book I read that was released this year was El Mundo de Afuera by some colombian dude, it was so-so.
