Proofreading happens after all the editing has been done and can be tedious as you have to work hard NOT to be sucked into the story, instead reading sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph looking for spelling or grammar errors. Even more tedious is proofreading after the book has been printed or put into the printing template. Then it also involves checking that all the page numbers, headers, footers, table of contents etc. match up. I don't mind a bit of tedium but only if I'm getting paid for it!
Book reviews can be fun to write too but I do find 400 words is quite a lot of space to fill without waffling or giving too much away. But then I may be a little out of practice!
