Joanna Angel's 'Night Shift' Makes Cosmo Best Erotic Novels List

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Hall of Famer Joanna Angel's quirky foray into erotic fiction, Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy, joins works by such esteemed scribes as Judy Blume, Nora Roberts and Colleen McCullough on a new list from Cosmopolitan magazine of "29 Legitimately Good Erotic Novels You Must Read." Published last year by Cleis Press, Night Shift has reaped laurels including hitting the #1 spot on Amazon.com's bestselling Lesbian Erotica list and earning Angel a 2019 AVN Awards nomination for Mainstream Venture of the Year. The Cosmo piece sums it up as a "witty tale of college grad Taryn, the new employee working the titular shift at a sex shop in central Florida." "It's an honor to be mentioned on this list amongst so many incredible authors," Angel told AVN. "I love this book—it was a true passion project that will live forever and I'm just happy people are enjoying it." Read the full Cosmopolitan piece here.
