Old post, but number 2 is definitely The Truth About Mary Rose. It's a distant sequel to the Veronica Ganz books - Veronica Ganz, and Peter and Veronica.
Reading this page has made me think of several books I read or at least skimmed as a kid. I'll try to keep this from becoming a wall of text like last time.
1.A book about a pair of twin sisters who buy an old doll from an antique store. It turns out that the doll is evil(possibly it was possessed or cursed or something)but only one of the twin's realizes it.
2.A book about a girl whose aunt died in an apartment fire as a kid. The aunt is fondly remembered as a hero because she was the first to discover the fire and ran around the building ringing all the bells which alerted the other residents to the fire and ultimately saved their lives. The aunt also had a weird hobby of collecting things in boxes. The main character and her cousin like to play out these events as a game and one day the girl finds one of her aunt's boxes in her granny's closet. However when she and her cousin are seen playing with pretend jewelry inside the box by the cousin's father he gets upset. The girl later discovers that her aunt wasn't a hero at all, the uncle had been the one to ring the bells and her aunt was a brat who refused to leave the apartment without her boxes(which is what lead to her death).
3.A book about a young witch named(I think) Libby. It may have been part of a series and it was not Sabrina The Teenage Witch or The Worst Witch.
I read all of these during Elementary School, which for me would have been the mid-late 90s.
