The literal meaning of bookends is two (usually matching) objects weighted and placed against each end of a group of books to hold them upright. To use 'bookends' out of this context usually is referring to two people or two incidents or ideas that are much the same and can or do support or surround something. For example:
Jack and Joe are a couple of bookends; they like the same things and are usually found together doing them.
Faith and hope are the bookends for the hardships in life.
Christmas and New Years Day are holiday book ends for a week of little work being accomplished.
Melon to start and cake to finish are the perfect bookends to a good meal.
