Bookverse as a term refers to the books or novels (usually the original source material) in fandoms which have canon in multiple media such as books and films and/or TV series, etc.

The term is often used by the fanfiction community to mark stories which are based explicitly and exclusively on the book versions.

Some fanworks will mention (usually in their header or author's notes) that they are set in a hybrid of the bookverse and movieverse (or TV series).
