Australian pop singer Cody Simpson is launching a book club where he will share favourite reads each month alongside cocktails.

Australian pop singer Cody Simpson is launching a book club to share his favourite reads each month alongside different cocktails. He is starting with Jack Kerouac's 1957 novel On the Road, which was inspired by the author's travels across the United States.

Simpson said the book was one he kept returning to. 'It's all about chasing freedom and the people you meet along the way, and it's shaped what I read and how I write,' he said. Simpson, who published his poetry and prose collection Prince Neptune in 2020, joins a growing list of celebrities sharing their love of books with readers, including Dua Lipa, Emma Roberts and Reese Witherspoon.

Simpson's second book club pick is Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Splintered Harmony, the sixth instalment in her bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses series. He is returning to Sydney for a Baileys and Dymocks release party for the book on Monday, where fans will be among the first to receive copies when it goes on sale at midnight.
