Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities are reading — whether it’s a timeless classic or the buzzy bestseller they can’t put down? Welcome to Page-Turners, where stars reveal the books that keep them hooked, inspired and up all night. Warning: your TBR pile is about to get a lot longer.

Gigi Zumbado can’t wait to catch her next flight.

“I look forward to long travel days just for the eight hours of designated, uninterrupted book time,” the actress — whose new show “DMV” airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ — tells Page Six.

She adds, “I purposely never buy WiFi and just crack open a new book.”

While Zumbado loves to cozy up with a new book on a flight or while sipping on an IPA at a bar top, she’s adamant she hates to read while eating food.

See below for the “Bride Hard” star’s six must-read book recommendations.

“This book absolutely captured me in middle school and still does to my undisclosed age. We can all recognize that Anthony Kiedis undoubtedly has a way with words, but the journey this book takes us on allows me to live through his own trials and tribulations to avoid my own potential catastrophes. Is this a self-help book? Maybe, for me! And for that, I say ‘thank you’ to AK and all involved in this beautiful disaster. I’ve read it six times.”

“Another reread I find myself diving into for a getaway therapy session. Siddhartha feels like a clean shower beer in the river that relinquishes the soul. I think I stole this book from my big sister’s library for a quick read and probably go back to it every couple years for a mental refresh. 10/10 Hermann Hesse!”

“Hello … who doesn’t have this in their top six?”

“I think this book was the start of my self-proclaimed book club with my castmates on our new show ‘DMV.’ Sweet Tony Cavalero and his wife Annie recommended this book to me. When I picked it up and my arm almost fell off from the weight of it, I was nervous about the task I was about to embark on. But when I tell you, to this day, that I miss these characters and wish I could watch a Ring camera on their current lives… (it’s endearing I swear)… I mean it. I fell in love with these people and their way of life. Highly, highly recommend — and am desperately waiting for Kristin Hannah’s next masterpiece.”

“This was my first good cry while reading a book, and I’ll always appreciate Mitch Albom for that. I hate to cry! But loved this book!”

“I was recommended this book in a hot tub in Palm Springs. Did I ever think a man (Gavin de Becker) would validate all my lifelong fears and anxieties in one book? No. Do I hate to admit that he did? Maybe! Will I die on this hill? Yes! The gift of relief and self-security that Gavin de Becker gave to me after reading this book is incomprehensible. I bought a copy for every woman in my life. Thank you, Gavin, for this. Sorry to any woman in my life that’s reading this article and didn’t receive one.”
