I haven't heard of any of these - hopefully that's not shining a bad light on me!

Haven't heard of the titles either, but this is no surprise because, living in Germany, I mainly read translated books. But there are some authors I know and like, so this list is for me kind of a "look out for". :-)

Duplicate of this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
You may want to consider transferring your three votes to this one instead and removing the duplicate.
(Looks like two of you have already voted on the one with more activity.)

When I set up this list after the announcement, there hasn't been any other yet as I checked with searching the lists.

I have no problem with removing it, but there's even another longlist 2014 by now:
