So it isn't just users here that refer to these types of books by these terms.
I would guess that this isn't new terminology, but like 4691mls mentioned, it has become more popular in the last fifteen years or so. As a kid, I don't remember chapter books either.

We just told people the book we were reading or what genre we liked.
