June Book Blogging: Guess the Book (Public Post)

I realize book blogging is more about book reviews, but the book I'm reading is more of the self-help variety, so while it's definitely a book, I think I'll wait until I find something more literary. :) In the meantime, let's play a game.

Vaguely describe a book in the comments - the plot, one story arc, characters. Then have people guess which books you're talking about.  Once enough people have guessed or enough time has passed (give 24 hours, LJ/DW move slow these days), leave a comment with the book you were describing. 

Example 1:

Girls take each other's clothes and write about it.

Book: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Example 2:

A man in Salinas kills his friend.

Book: Of Mice and Men.

Ready... set... go!

Tired of his job, an important person leaves to slum on a farm while his granddaughter takes over the family business.

Three old women go on vacation and one of them traps her sister in a mirror.

Someone has to take over the old post office, so the city forces a condemned man to do it as a kind of community service.

That first one is Mort. The second is Witches Abroad. The third is Going Postal.

Second and third were correct, you're just slightly off on the first, but that's my fault. Death leaves of his own accord in Mort, but I was thinking of Reaper Man, when he's forced off the job.

'reaper man' for the first one?

That's the one I was thinking of, though I misremembered the reason he left that time.
