I think you want the -'e', topic suffix, to convey "about," at least for "I'm
thinking about my last birthday."
qoSwIj lopno' Qav'e' jIQub
(although I would more likely phrase it without the -'e' suffix)
qoSwIj lopno' Qav vIQub
As for "This book is about biology," I'd simply say:
{biology} paq 'oH
I'm sure if I'm wrong someone with much more skill than I will make the
corrections.
