I know that wasn't addressed to me but I had drawn up a list of books that I've read published in 2014. Here it is :

Be Careful What You Wish For (The Clifton Chronicles #4) by Jeffrey Archer
The Beatles Are Here!: 50 Years after the Band Arrived in America, Writers, Musicians & Other Fans by Penelope Rowlands
Death Come Quickly by Susan Wittig Albert
The Target (Will Robie #3) by David Baldacci
Throw in the Trowel (A Flower Shop Mystery #15) by Kate Collins
The Diva Wraps It Up (A Domestic Diva Mystery #8) by Krista Davis
Small Town Spin (A Headlines in High Heels Mystery #3) by LynDee Walker
Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story by Asa Akira
Murder on Bamboo Lane by Naomi Hirahara
Deep Fried Homicide (Donut Shop Mystery #13) by Jessica Beck
Custard Crime (Donut Shop Mystery #14) by Jessica Beck
Lemon Larceny (Donut Shop Mystery #15) by Jessica Beck
City of Darkness and Light (Molly Murphy Mysteries #13) by Rhys Bowen
An Unwilling Accomplice (Bess Crawford #6) by Charles Todd
Bad Bites (Donut Shop Mystery #16) by Jessica Beck
Murder Strikes a Pose (A Downward Dog Mystery #1) by Tracy Weber


From that list, here are my high scoring and favorite books:

Be Careful What You Wish For (The Clifton Chronicles #4) by Jeffrey Archer
The Target (Will Robie #3) by David Baldacci
Deep Fried Homicide (Donut Shop Mystery #13) by Jessica Beck
Custard Crime (Donut Shop Mystery #14) by Jessica Beck
Lemon Larceny (Donut Shop Mystery #15) by Jessica Beck


All of the rest of my total list have disappointed me. Most books published in the same year tend not to be memorable. It's only when we pool in all the recommendations and follow our favorite authors that we get more of a bang for our buck. For 2015 I won't concentrate on books published that year. I'll just read what I think will be the best books.
